This CD has almost everything you could wish for. Sadly, it doesn't include any of Elmer Bernstein's haunting score, but it does have Van Morrison, The Clash, Johnny Thunders, and many other greats. The thing I like the most about it is the way all the songs fit together perfectly. Van Morrison's "T.B. Sheets" is one of the few songs that could be called epic, and "Janie Jones" and "I'm So Bored with the USA" have got to be two of the best punk songs ever. "You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory" has been playing in my head since I first heard it. I could write about how good every single song on this compilation is, but that would take too long. If you like classic music of a variety of genres, you will like this soundtrack.

I loved the movie so much, I went to see it twice. The soundtrack is GREAT! The music fits perfectly with the film. Having a profession in EMS for the past 8 years brings on both good and bad memories. I look forward to finding the CD soundtrack, I have listened to it through the movie twice, and on the internet often. I will definitely purchase this movie when it comes to video-I hope it's soon.

It's like Passover! It would've been enough if they'd had only The Clash, Van Morrison, or the diabolic Thunders musically moonlighting on this genius film. But all together, this soundtrack is phenomenal. You've got moody blues, fist-pumping punk, heart-rendering classic rock, and all together- it's outright genius.

The only reason I gave it a 4/5 was because of the not included Natalie Merchant song. The fact that they included it in the movie was enough for me.

It reminds me of hard nights and hard liquor. Just like the film.

Martin Scorsese's latest film, "Bringing out the Dead" has all the elements of his style of film. Which also includes an absolutely wonderful soundtrack. It opens up with Van Morrison's 9 1/2 minute "T.B. Sheets" which hauntingly plays throughout the film. Most of the reamainder of the album is an unusual yet fascinating mix which has a wide range from The Clash to Martha Reeves and the Vandelles. The oddest track on the cd is "Bell Boy" from the Who which might sound strange to those who haven't heard the "Quadrophinia" album. Yet it's a great CD and a great movie. Scorsese has done it again!

A great Scorcese soundtrack. Yes, the entirety of the music in the film was better, but this is a great collection that goes together nicely.

This is a killer soundtrack as any other soundtrack in a Martin Scorcese Movie. It mixes the old with the new. It's like the "Goodfellas" soundtrack marrying the alternative music of the 90's. A definite buy...

this is the best soundtrack ever. it fits the movie perfectly!

In promoting his film, Bringing Out the Dead, Martin Scorsese made a big deal out of having Hollywood soundtrack giant Elmer Bernstein on hand to do the original score. Elmer's name is on the credits crawl, his music is certainly in the film, so why is he not featured on this skimpy, 12-cue CD? If the actual film had contained only these MTV hand-me-downs, it would have passed as a Michael Mann movie, not a Scorsese masterpiece. Are we going to see a separate CD of Elmer's music a la Wild Wild West?

why did they exclude the best song in the movie? "These are Days" Natalie Merchant........I hate it when they leave out songs that were in the movie when they put out the soundtrack.

Im sorry but the cds got to go. Hey man. I use to like Van Morrison and all btu hes got to go girlfriend. The cd was okilly dokilly but I thought it was a bit schmemish myself. If you want a good cd then I suggest acid rock. Party on dude.
