Music reviews of Freaks And Geeks: Original Soundtrack And Score
Music Review: Good, but woulda been a great Double-CD
Rating: 4 Stars
Best "dramedy" I've ever seen on TV to be sure. But while the CD is decent, I wish it had included much more music from some of the serie's most incredible scenes. (I know its all due to "licensing rights", but they managed to secure all the songs for the DVD, so what happened here?) My fave "missing from the soundtrack" songs:
1. RIPPLE - Grateful Dead. I'm not a Deadhead by any means, but this was the last song on the last episode, and tied up the whole series on a poignant note.
2. ROSALINDA'S EYES - Played when the 'geeks' were shooting bottle rockets with their new gorgeous female friend. A rarely heard jazzy number from Joel. They chose to use that song over any of his "big hits". But sadly, it didn't make the CD.
3. TOM SAWYER -Rush. Yeah, 2 Rush songs would be pushing it, but if it were a double-disc...
4. NO Van Halen? The show was chock-full of VH tunes, but I guess they couldn't use any on the soundtrack?
5. KING TUT - Steve Martin. That scene was great where Samn, Neal & Bill started fighting each other.
6. LOVIN'TOUCHIN'SQUEEZIN' - Journey. Like most of the above songs, F&G made me appreciate a lot of music that I never really was into. Journey, Rush or Styx would normally NOT be the music I listen to. (I'm 32 so I grew up on them and wasn't that impressed.) But when used in the proper context, songs can become more meaningful.
Some dialogue from the show would've been welcome on this too. Like an occasional Joe Flaherty rant. Or Cynical Ken interludes. Or Rosso lecturing. Or the geeks talking about Three's Company or Dallas, etc.
So overall, I'm glad this CD came out, its just that (unlike the DVD which is beautifully over-the-top in content, this just didn't feel 'complete'. So any fans of the show should be cautious, cuz unlike the DVDs, the soundtrack isn't all-inclusive. But I wasn't expecting it to come out anyway, so I shouldn't complain...its just that it coulda been so much more!
(I AM very glad they included "The Groove Line" tho'!)
Description of Freaks And Geeks: Original Soundtrack And Score
Freaks and Geeks is one of the most lavishly praised TV shows of all time. One essential ingredient to its success was the ingenious use of music. The Freaks And Geeks Original Soundtrack and Score CD includes some of the best anthems of the day by The Who, Joan Jett, Styx, and Rush and ties them together with the most memorable portions of Michael Andrews? score. As a special treat to fans, it also includes performances by cast members, including Nick?s cringe-worthy but hilarious ode to Lindsay, "Lady L." This is one CD no Freaks And Geeks fan should be without.Classic Rock CDs
