 The Soundtrack To 1982 August 23, 2008
The soundtrack to the 1982 teen flick FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH is even cooler than the movie, with various members of the Eagles flying solo and not one but TWO title songs, one by Billy Squier and the other by pro-law-enforcement hard rocker Sammy Hagar. Granted, I could do without the songs by the Go-Gos, Quarterflash, and Oingo Boingo, but overall, this is an excellent compilation of what kids were listening to in 1982.
 Ain't a soundtrack without Phoebe Cates! June 23, 2008

As other reviewers have noted, this soundtrack DOES NOT contain the song playing when Phoebe Cates takes off her bikini top. THE WHOLE POINT OF THE SOUNDTRACK. That would be "Movin' in Stereo" by The Cars.
It's like if you buy the Casino Royale soundtrack and don't get the Chris Cornell title track, or buy the Superbad soundtrack and don't get McLovin's dance track (Boogeyman). Read ALL the customer reviews, and you won't make the mistake I did in buying a soundtrack without the actual soundtrack!

If you thought the movie was good the soundtrack is even better. A good wide range of tune. Takes you back

"Fsst Times At Ridgemont High" is one of my all time favorite movies ever. I've rarely laughed harder than I did when I saw this all time 1980s' classic.
One of the main reasons I loved it was because of the soundtrack, which I found to be an awesome compilation of music from thst time period. For months I searched for it but wasn't able to find it. I finally found it last night.
I'm so glad I did. Be advised that not every song from the movie is on it, but I think that's inevitable. Besides, I already have "Kashmir", "Moving In Stereo" and "American Girl", and I can do without "We've Got The Beat". But there's some darn good stuff on here. I love Jackson Browne's "Somebody's Baby", a fine piece of early 1980s' soft rock. There's a lot of other great stuff as well, such as Joe Walsh's "Waffle Stomp", Don Henley's beautiful "Love Rules", Quarterflash's "Don't Be Lonely", Sammy Hagar's title song, Jimmy Buffet's "I Don't Know (Spicoli's Theme) and of course Oingo Boingo's "Goodbye, Goodbye".
The songs sound very good, though I'd like to see a new version since next year is the film's 25th anniversary. Still, this will do for now.
Yes there was an 80's BEFORE Madonna August 25, 2005

Although I could take or leave the movie itself, this sountrack is a great recap of the early 80's.
Tracks feature some groups who back in 1982 were riding high on the charts, and probally thought that they would be around forever such as the Go Go's (Speeding), Quarterflash (Don't be Lonely), Oingo Boingo (Goodbye, Goodbye), and The Ravyns (Raised On The Radio), as well as 80's icons such as Sammy Hagar, Joe Walsh and Don Henley.
The big hit from this album belonged to Jackson Browne with Somebody's Baby, proof that he can deliver a great non-political pop song.
Two "from the vault" tracks also delivered sales to this album, and they are Stevie Nick's Sleeping Angel (later to appear on at least one of her compilations), and Donna Summer's Highway Runner from the then unreleased rock/new wave orientated album I'm A Rainbow (released in full in 1996).
"Never Surrender" your love for the music of your High School & College Years!
