Hidden Treasures - At The Movies

[Scott]

Heres a SHT first, were heading to the Movies.

So this one is short and simple, we're looking at soundtracks. Heres the deal, I don't own very many but the ones I do have are pretty cool. I know Jon did some things in the Lost Album posts from early on with soundtracks, and back when MSOTW was a thing around here soundtracks also made brief appearances, but since then? Nothing... nada... a big zero

 

So which soundtracks do you own?

 

PLAYLIST --> http://snack.to/ahjs6jkh

	Fast Times At Ridgemont High 1982 1 - Raised On The Radio (The Ravyns) The soundtrack album, Fast Times at Ridgemont High: Music from the Motion Picture, peaked at #54 on the Billboard album chart. The soundtrack features the work of many quintessential 1980s rock artists. Several of the movie's songs were released as singles, including Jackson Browne's "Somebody's Baby", which reached #7 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. Other singles were the title track by Sammy Hagar, "So Much in Love" by Timothy B. Schmit, "Raised on the Radio" by (The Ravyns) and "Waffle Stomp" by Joe Walsh. In addition to Schmit and Walsh, the album features solo tracks by two other members of the Eagles, Don Henley and Don Felder. The soundtrack also included "I Don't Know (Spicoli's Theme)" by Jimmy Buffett. Five tracks in the film, but not included on the soundtrack, are: "Moving in Stereo" by The Cars, "American Girl" by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, "We Got the Beat" by The Go Go's, Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir," and "Jingle Bell Rock" by Bobby Helms. In addition, the live band at the prom dance during the end of the film played two songs also not on the soundtrack: "Life in the Fast Lane" and "Wooly Bully".
	Say Anything 1989 2 - In Your Eyes (Peter Gabriel) Allmusic said the soundtrack, like the film, is "much smarter than the standard teen fare of the era." Set in Seattle, Washington, the film features Lloyd Dobler (John Cusack), an average student and aspiring kickboxer, who attempts a relationship with the lovely valedictorian Diane Court (Ione Skye) immediately after their graduation from the same high school. Diane has just won a major fellowship to study in England, and will be going there at the end of the summer. Highly intelligent yet socially inexperienced, Diane is intrigued by Lloyd's endearing manner and willingness to take a chance on someone like her. She agrees to Lloyd's request for a date, and the two of them begin seeing each other regularly.
	Iron Eagle 1986 3 - One Vision (Queen) The soundtrack album was issued by Capitol Records on LP and cassette, and later on compact disc. It features songs by Queen, King Kobra, Eric Martin, Dio and more. Iron Eagle is a 1986 action film directed by Sidney J. Furie and starring Jason Gedrick and Louis Gossett, Jr. While it received mixed reviews, the film earned US$24,159,872 at the U.S. box office. Iron Eagle was followed by three sequels: Iron Eagle II, Aces: Iron Eagle III and Iron Eagle on the Attack, with Gossett, Jr. being the only actor to have appeared in all four films. The basis of the fictional story in the film relates to real life attacks by the United States against Libya over the Gulf of Sidra, which involved U.S. bombings in both 1981 (see Gulf of Sidra incident), and 1986 (see Action in the Gulf of Sidra).
	Heavy Metal 1981 4 - Crazy (A Suitable Case for Treatment) (Nazareth) The soundtrack was released on LP in 1981, but for legal reasons, was not released on CD until 1995. The album peaked at number 12 on the Billboard 200 chart. Blue Öyster Cult wrote and recorded a song called "Vengeance (The Pact)" for the film, but the producers declined to use the song because the lyrics provided a capsulized summary of the "Taarna" vignette. "Veteran Of The Psychic Wars" was used instead. Both songs can be found on Blue Öyster Cult's Fire Of Unknown Origin album. Though used in the film, the songs "Through Being Cool" by Devo and "E5150" by Black Sabbath were not included in the released soundtrack album. These songs are on New Traditionalists and Mob Rules, respectively. The legal difficulties surrounding the use of some songs in the movie delayed its release to home video. The production company's use of some songs were limited solely to the theatrical release and soundtrack and did not include home video releases. It was not until 1996 that there was an official home video release on VHS when Kevin Eastman, who had bought the publishing rights of Heavy Metal magazine in 1992 and previously contributed to the magazine, reached a settlement with the music copyright holders.

FM.  That one was great.  This looks very interesting.  I'll dive in tomorrow.

[Jon]

Up The Creek had a cool soundtrack:

"Up The Creek" - Cheap Trick
"The Heat" - Heart
"30 Days In The Hole" - Kick Axe
"Great Expectations" - Ian Hunter
"Chasin' The Sky" - Beach Boys
"Get Ready Boy" - Shooting Star
"Passion In The Dark" - Danny Spanos
"Take It" - Shooting Star
"Two Hearts On The Loose" - Randy Bishop
"Get Ready Boy" - Instrumental - Shooting Star

I used to have this, no longer though. 

Dazed & Confused and Boogie Nights are also very good, so good they have 2 albums apiece.

Maybe it's just me and the small group of friends I had, but the Heavy Metal soundtrack was a must own. The move itself really isn't that great now...actually, it really wasn't that good back then even though there were nekkid chicks. Iron Eagle, decent soundtrack, movie kinda sucked. Say Anything, saw it once and that was that. Never had the soundtrack.  

Funny thing about One Vision, it was on "A Kind Of Magic" which is basically the soundtrack to "Highlander".

Good list, I really have always liked that Nazareth song, I actually played it twice cause I like it so.

[Scott]

I do recall that Heavy Metal soundtrack was a big deal for quite awhile. Also has some great tunes from Don Felder of Eagles fame, a Grand Funk come back attempt and a cool deep track from BoC...

[Jon]

And of course the hugely popular Riggs and Trust!

Somehow this playlist starts with One Vision.  Anyway, that's a decent song.   Except at the end, when he, for some reason, says "fried chicken".  That's just really weird.  

I think Mike Pell played that song by The Ravyns recently.  I don't remember what I thought of it then, but I kinda like it now.  I think it's better than One Vision.

I recall nothing about the song In Your Eyes by Peter Gabriel.  I was just never a fan so I never gave it a chance.  But my wife likes it a lot, which made me listen to it a bit closer, and now I like it too.  It's really a beautiful song.

The Heavy Metal soundtrack is the only one of these I own.  This Nazareth song is quite cool.  I've never listened to the soundtrack, just have never gotten around to it.  I've also never seen the movie.  Actually, Fast Times is the only one of these I've seen.

So what do I own?  As I said, Heavy Metal.  Also, Born On The Fourth Of July.  I like that soundtrack but haven't spun it in quite some time.  I know I own a couple more, but can't think of what they are.  I bought the FM soundtrack on vinyl for a buck a while back.  I was totally excited about it, then got home and noticed only one of the two album was inside.  Bummer.  But just look at the tracklist for that badboy:

Not a bad bunch of music at all.  I used to own the soundtrack to The Big Chill.  It was cool, but I don't know where it went to.

[Jon]

Forrest Gump is a good soundtrack as well. 

FM is allright as a movie, WKRP is better though. Cool music on that show and I get a kick seeing all the posters around the station.  

[Scott]

ah  ... WKRP ...  Speaking of posters...

[Jon]

I was more of a

fan....

[Jon]

I mean, really....

[Scott]

No argument from me...  Loni was just more willing to not wear so may ... uh...  layers...

[Scott]
