Soundtrack POLL: Fast Times at Ridgemont High

"Goodbye, Goodbye" (Oingo Boingo) - 4:34

LOVE THE ELFMAN SKAT AT THE END THERE

no 'kashmir'?

Haha "Kashmir". That one always bugged me. Damone tells Ratner to play the first side of Zep IV, and then you hear a song that's not on that album.

BTW, where's "Speeding" by the Go-Gos? IIRC, it was in the film and on the album.

uh, that and "Kashmir" is hardly the biggest elephant in the room here...

STOP COMPLAINING AND PICK WHATS ON THE GODDAMN POLL GAWD

BTW, where's "Speeding" by the Go-Gos? IIRC, it was in the film and on the album.

I just copied the info from Wikipedia.

I used to detest "Somebody's Baby"; now I just wish someone else sung it.

Stevie Nicks' "Sleeping Angel" is the closest thing to a conventional power ballad.

How're the Rick Springfield and Donna Summer tunes?

I don't think I've ever heard any of these tunes.

lol, joe walsh & don henley & timothy b. schmit & don felder

WHAT ABOUT ME, DOODZ?????

the original theatrical release was 're-scored for home video' in parts due to licensing probs. i find it impossible to imagine that the movie could ever have begun *without* the go-go's 'we got the beat'.

Wasn't Kim Wilde in there too? ("Kids In America")

Whatever. "...Beat" is easily the best of the few that I actually recognize.

btw it's totally hot that Sean Piccoli's shoes are a la mode again.

uh, that and "Kashmir" is hardly the biggest elephant in the room here...

"Surrender"?

nah.

Pheobe Cates...Never Forget.

this move is great but really the sdtk is pretty blah

I was too young then, but does the soundtrack approximate the musical diet of SoCal youth?

not really

I mean Oingo Boingo, the Go-Gos, Don Henley/the Eagles = yes, the rest of it is pretty wtf

I know not this "Gerald McMahon."

It should be pointed out that Cameron Crowe in general has incredibly shitty taste in music (Zep aside)

It wouldn't be accurate to claim that Ridgemont High students listened to X, right?

well I was only 9 years old in 1982 so I dunno if X had gotten to high schools by then - certainly by the time I was in jr. high/high school I had heard their stuff on the radio.

The whole "Somebody's Baby" scene is a masterpiece of filmmaking.

im more about the date rape scene in the dugout

they are one in the same.

see i knew you were on the level

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

"Somebody's Baby" towers over the rest of those songs even if it's not from Browne's best period - Browne's throwaways run melodic rings around most people's best work

This is the only time where I'll vote for Jackson Browne in anything.

Is there really no BOC on this soundtrack?

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

You people are all MAD for not voting for "Highway Runner."

I was mad too.
