"This CD has almost everything you could wish for. Sadly, it doesn't include any of Elmer Bernstein's haunting score, but it does have Van Morrison, The Clash, Johnny Thunders, and many other greats. The thing I like the most about it is the way all the songs fit together perfectly. Van Morrison's "T.B. Sheets" is one of the few songs that could be called epic, and "Janie Jones" and "I'm So Bored with the USA" have got to be two of the best punk songs ever. "You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory" has been playing in my head since I first heard it. I could write about how good every single song on this compilation is, but that would take too long. If you like classic music of a variety of genres, you will like this soundtrack."
Brilliant.

"It's like Passover! It would've been enough if they'd had only The Clash, Van Morrison, or the diabolic Thunders musically moonlighting on this genius film. But all together, this soundtrack is phenomenal. You've got moody blues, fist-pumping punk, heart-rendering classic rock, and all together- it's outright genius.The only reason I gave it a 4/5 was because of the not included Natalie Merchant song. The fact that they included it in the movie was enough for me.It reminds me of hard nights and hard liquor. Just like the film."
