Soundtrack Album To 2016 Film On Double LP! Features Great 1980's Music From The Cars, Dire Straits, Pete Townshend, ZZ Top & More!
The movie contains many more period appropriate songs than could be included on the double LP. However, the Official Soundtrack album does not disappoint with music from Van Halen, Dire Straits, The Cars, Blondie, ZZ Top, Cheap Trick, Hot Chocolate, Pete Townshend and more!
"Richard Linklater cares about the music in his films, with "School Of Rock," "Boyhood," and "Dazed and Confused" in particular showing a strong commitment to a carefully curated soundtrack. But what you might not know is how much of a stickler the director is for ensuring the song choices are not anachronistic for his movies, or anybody elses.
""If I know a song came out a year later than the time when a film is set, f you, you just lost me. You cant approach a period film saying, Oh, whos going to care? No, no! Im doing it for that one person who does care. Because theyre out there. Im that person. If youre going to be fast and loose with that, I dont trust you on anything. You at least have to try," he told The Toronto Star. "Even way back when I did Dazed and Confused (set in 1976), I was trying to get a Thin Lizzy song for it, The Boys Are Back In Town. But that didnt come out until June 4 and (the movie setting) was May 28! I went, I cant use it, I cant use it! "
"Well, the director is never short of music he can use, and thats certainly true for his "Everybody Wants Some!!"" - indiewire.com
