I noticed some people have this on their lists of favorite soundtracks. When this movie came out my wife watched it with some friends and immediately bought me the CD. I've loved a lot of the music since I was a preteen. My mom made me take piano (starting at 5; I could read music before I could read words. Didn't turn me into a genius, tho'. Guess you're born with that!) and I was exposed to some of the early pop music that way. I'd check records out of the library that had the old recordings of certain songs and I got hooked that way! The soundtrack also has a sprinkling of some selections from my era as a teen like Carly Simon and Joe Cocker. I can't believe this movie is 24 years old this year. But the music to me is timeless.
