4.0 out of 5 stars It's a slam-dunk., December 9, 2003

Like anyone, I picked this up because of all the bands I liked on it. But the real bonus is that the bands I didn't know are just as great, or these songs anyway. One of the well known songs on here is "People Who Died", by the "Jim Carroll Band". All the songs involving him are good. The tracks from "PJ Harvey" and "The Cult" are good. Obviously "Riders On The Storm" is classic. The songs "Coming Right Along" and "Strawberry Wine" are suprisingly good as well. The only disappointments here are from "Flea" and "Soundgarden". Neither song is bad, but I expected more from them. This also has a few inserts from the book "Basketball Diaries".

This was an awesome movie and a it's a great soundtrack. The "songs" by Jim Carroll are different and if you buy this CD for any reason, it will have to be for the song "Strawberry Wine." Plain and simple, the song is amazing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly wonderful, November 20, 2001

I actually bought the thing cause at the time I liked Leonardo DiCaprio. Well, suffice to say I'm *over* that phase, but I held onto the CD. This album has a great selection of songs..."Strawberry Wine" (Massive Internal Complications) still sends a chill up my spine. "Coming Right Along" is just as great. I'm able, actually, to listen to the whole CD without skipping around. A well-deserved 5 stars.
