Rating: 5 Stars

Description of Lords of Dogtown

Rock ?n? roll has always been a huge factor in skater culture, and the new CD reflects that, old school style. In addition to the Social Distortion track, Geffen band Rise Against also contributes a cover of Black Flag?s blistering punk anthem, "Nervous Breakdown."

The bulk of the CD consists of vintage classics, including: the Jimi Hendrix Experience, "Fire;" David Bowie?s "Suffragette City;" Nazareth with "Hair of the Dog;" the Stooges, "T.V. Eye;" Foghat, "I Just Want To Make Love To You;" Ted Nugent?s "Motor City Madhouse;" T Rex with "20th Century Boy;" Joe Walsh, "Turn To Stone;" Sweet, "Fox On The Run;" the Allman Brothers Band, "One Way Out;" Rod Stewart?s "Maggie May;" Deep Purple, "Space Truckin?;" Sparklehorse, "Wish You Were Here;" and Iggy Pop?s "Success."

"Lords of Dogtown," starring Emile Hirsch, Victor Rasuk and John Robinson and Heath Ledger, tells the story of a group of teenage surfers from a tough neighborhood known as "Dogtown" in Venice, California who pioneered a revolutionary new style of skateboarding in the 1970?s. Riding the waves at the Pacific Ocean Park pier, the Z-Boys, known for their aggressive style and hard street attitude, combined the death-defying moves of surfing with the art of skateboarding and became overnight sensations and local legends. With empty pools as their canvas, the Z-Boys paved the way to what is today referred to as "extreme sports," and created a lifestyle that became a worldwide counterculture phenomenon.
