Synopsis

Amazon.com
Classic rock means different things to different people. But when it comes to the 1970s, kitsch classics reign supreme. Joe Dirt is a comedy that combines the '70s stoner vibe with the air-guitar dreamers of the '80s. There are stacks of both overplayed and overlooked hard rock that could accompany this trip down memory lane. At only 12 tracks, this brief introduction is for those who have never experienced classic rock radio. Ted Nugent's "Cat Scratch Fever," Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Sweet Home Alabama," and the Doobie Brothers' "China Grove" are obvious staples, while Argent's 1972 hit "Hold Your Head Up" and April Wine's 1978 track "Roller" border on the obscure. George Thorogood blows out his amp with a pulverizing version of Bo Diddley's "Who Do You Love." But the inclusion of Cheap Trick and Eddie Money tips the balance toward pop rock that most self-respecting mullet-heads would never order up on the local jukebox. --Rob O'Connor

CD Reviews

GREAT...but incomplete...
SMK | FDL WI, USA | 03/09/2004
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Could have been a 5 star album. Great colection for fair weather classic rock fans, but critical songs from the movie are missing:
I Think I'm In Love - Eddie Money
Burnin' For You - Blue Oyster Cult
Funk #49 - James Gang
I Just Wanna Make Love To You - Foghat
Hang On Loosley - 38 Special
That Smell - Lynyrd Skynyrd
Jailbreak - Thin Lizzy"
Good rock songs

"I loved this movie more than I thought I would. I think they should have included a few more songs from the movie on the soundtrack. The song when Joe and Brandy are playing around with the dog is also Eddie Money and it's called, "I think I'm in Love"."
Good Rock--But Missing Seger!!

"Aww man...this could have been a great soundtrack, but unfortunately it is missing probably the greatest song from the movie..."Rambin' Gamblin' Man", by Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band. But, other than this glaring ommission, it does have some great rock tunes! But this one, but also go and buy Seger's "Greatest Hits"!"
