5.0 out of 5 stars A CD I Can Leave On, June 19, 2002

By	Peety (STL) - See all my reviews

Now THAT's an ultimate complement. The CD's you can let play, and you don't have to flip to any particular song, because, guess what, they're ALL fantastic! In addition, the movie was fantastic, so I think remembering the movie kind of helps me along when I'm listening. However, seen the movie or not, this is a great soundtrack and it's fun to listen to, while you're cleaning, lying around, or even throwing a party. I highly recommend; enjoy!

4.0 out of 5 stars You Still Can't Always Get What You Want, January 7, 2008

By	Genevieve Hayes (Australia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is the second of two soundtrack CDs issued for the movie "The Big Chill" (the first being The Big Chill - 15th Anniversary: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) and it contains the remaining songs from the movie that were not included in the first album, along with four additional songs from the same era that were not actually included in the movie: "It's the Same Old Song", "Dancing in the Street", "What's Going On" and "Too Many Fish in the Sea". Presumably these songs were included so that this album didn't end up being too short.

Considering that it was necessary for the producers of this album to pad this CD out with additional music, it is disappointing to note that, as in the first "Big Chill" CD, "You Can't Always Get What You Want" (the Rolling Stones song played at the funeral) has once again been omitted. This is apparently due to the fact that the Rolling Stones do not allow their songs to be included on albums other than their own. For people trying to obtain this song, it can be found on a number of Rolling Stones CDs including Let It Bleed [DSD]. Even without this song, this is still a great CD containing some of the best songs of the Big Chill era, but is slightly less satisfying than the first volume of the "Big Chill" soundtrack.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Music, from Start to Finish! , September 21, 2006

By	Mike - See all my reviews

This CD is filled with great oldies tunes from start to finish. If you like oldies, BUY THIS CD!!! For those of you who would like more music from the motion picture, buy The Big Chill Deluxe Edition, which is a 2-disc set with 19 hits. Great music, I can't say enough about this CD.
