This is a movie about racecar driving. So, why does the soundtrack include LeAnn Rimes but not the movie's hard-hitting Chemical Brother's "Out of Control"? Where's all the cool beats I heard in this... movie? Where's the Dub Pistols? Soul Hooligan? Filter? They were all in the movie. After all, the music was the only thing that kept me staring at Burt Reynold's bad face-lift, listening to Stallone's bumbling lines or even caring anything about the characters that the story never adequately developed. Sure, the driving scenes were good. But some screenwriter (Stallone) got lazy. And didn't even bother to make up for it with a great soundtrack.

There are two songs in the movie but not on the soundtrack that I have been driving to for many, many months. The two songs that are in the movie and that I drive to are "Out of Control" by The Chemical Brothers and "Right Here, Right Now" by Fatboy Slim. Both of these songs have been in TV commercials. The soundtrack would have been perfect if these two songs would have been included. I'd also recommend The Chemical Brothers and Fatboy Slim. "Out of Control" is on the Surrender album and "Right Here, Right Now" is on You've Come A Long Way, Baby. Despite the less than special effects in the movie these two songs made up for quite a bit.

It needs the songs it's missing to be good IMO:

Chemical Brothers - Outta Control Crystal Method - High Roller

Without those, meh.

Another good song this CD is missing other than "High Roller": Fatboy Slim - Right Here Right Now, used during one of the final race scenes. Although the music throughout the movie was great, this CD lacks the two songs that would really make me want this soundtrack. Sure these songs are on dozens of other soundtracks and singles, but it really gets you into the driving mood... one song flowing to the next, as you pass your friendly local law enforcement represenitive.

This soundtrack is missing the song that made the movie. Crystal Method's High Roller. If you guys want driving music... pick up their album: Vegas. Great movie, but it looks like I'll have to wait for The Fast and The Furious for any decent driving tunes.

I also want to know the name of the song of when all the race car drivers are getting in their cars.If you answer, please write my name so i know that your answering me.thanks

I'm also trying to find out the name of the song that plays at the beginning of the final race. Does anyone know what it is or who it's by?

i was looking for the song that was played during the pre-race stuff for the last race of the movie, detroit. it's really haunting and really good. it's played when the drivers are putting their equipmenton and strapping into their machines. it just reminds me of when me and my pals gear up for our stuff... thanks for any help.

As others have noted, the soundtrack misses the best driving songs from the movie, or at least those songs that would have captured the spirit of a movie about racing. This compilation seems more like it was taken from "Coal Miner's Daughter".

A disappointment.

The song is called mother.. from ERA.. I was looking for that song too..!
