When I first saw the movie, 'The Replacements' I was literally astounded at how many different songs the movie used. This movie was stocked full of tunes ranging from classic to top 40 to jock jams. Now that it's out I would like to smack the team that put this CD together. Make no mistake, the content of the CD is good, but it has nowhere near the potential it could have had. Missing from the CD are great classics such as Queen's 'We will rock you' and 'Every Move you Make' by the Police. I would have to see the movie again to compile a complete list of what is missing but trust me, it's A LOT. It's a dissapointing end to over a month's long wait for this soundtrack. If the price is right I would recommend it but you wouldn't catch me paying more than $15 for it.

I waited in anticipation for the soundtrack to "The Replacements" to be released...and only to be slightly dissapointed after purchasing it. They should have released the soundtrack as a 2 CD set....one with the music score and the other with the tracks in the film. All the standards were there..I Will Survive, Rock and Roll Part 2, Bust A Move...but I really expected more.

Some of the following songs from the film were missing from the Soundtrack:
Amanda Marshall - Ride (Tuesday's Child) When falco gets nailed by Bateman the second time in practice.
The Rolling Stones - Blinded By Rainbows (Voodoo Lounge)
The Rolling Stones - You Got Me Rocking (Voodoo Lounge)
The Rolling Stones - Moon Is Up (Voodoo Lounge)
Groove Armada - If Everybody Looked The Same (The Next Best Thing)
The Dandy Warhols - Bohemian Like You (13 Tales from Urban Bohemia) Plays before fight during bar scene and when the Sentinals are entering the field for the second half against Dallas.
EMF - Unbelievable
Marky Mark - Good Vibrations

Could have been an @ss kicken soundtrack.....only worth buying if your a diehard fan of the film!!

My whole family had rented The Replacements again over the weekend and we all loved the music so much that we decided that we HAD to get the soundtrack. Well, it's a shell game. It is no soundtrack. Everyone of the Stones songs in the movie, the remix of "Hero", and many other great tunes are NOT, I repeat, NOT on this piece of junk CD. Those songs are what gave the movie some punch and feeling, they are important to the film. I also noted that there are bogus photos in the CD jacket and one of the pictures of the players has been flipped, so his number reads 18 instead of 81.

The jokers who created this CD should be ashamed of themselves for duping people into believing that this piece of plastic had something to do with the movie. It doesn't. Don't waste a dime on this...I only gave it one star, because I had to. It deserves none.

The Replacements is a great movie with a soundtrack that absolutely pumps. Unfortunately there are quite a few tracks missing from this CD. A number of them are original pieces that were never released elsewhere. The rest are popular dance and rock tracks, most of which can be found elsewhere. Of the tracks that are included, several are compilations of instrumental cues from the original score. It would have been nice for them to have been included as stand-alone tracks.

For those who are interested, I took some time to document all of the songs listed in the film's end credits. Songs which which are unreleased have been marked as such.

Best of luck gathering the missing tracks!

I was quite impressed with the music selections that accompanied the movie and I was certainly hoping that most, if not all, the songs would be on the soundtrack CD. I was just about to order the CD, but then I read the reviews and I have to quite agree that if the majority of the songs from the movie never made it to the disc, then count me out!! I won't be buying this one.

Thanks for the timely reviews.

This is one of the worst soundtracks I have ever purchased. The music in the movie was really good, but they didn't include any of the good songs on the soundtrack.

I was very disappointed when the cd was finnaly released and I noticed that it did not have the song "Heros" by David Bowie on the soundtrack when I heard the song in the movie. to be exact it was the second to last song in the movie. Overall I was not happy that it did not have maybe the best song in the movie on the soundtrack.

Like many others, I watched the movie and was excited about the great music. Then, I discovered that most of the great songs from the movie are not actually on the soundtrack. What happened? I am glad I did not waste my money.

This CD is nothing like the music and soundtrack of the movie itself. If you have that expectation you will definitely be let down.

I was very excited about the soundtrack coming out with so many Rolling Stones songs in one movie. Unbelievable. Where are they on the soundtrack? The movie must have had 4 or 5 incrediable songs from the Rolling Stones but it seems that it didnt make it to the soundtrack. Very Strange. I am not buying this one!
