School of Rock

Great CD. Hopefully this will help turn a generation of listeners onto
this amazing period in rock history!

I believe this is the playlist for the film. Someone asked for it and I had no
way to contact them other than to post. (Not all of these are on the CD)

This is a very good soundtrack. It has an excellent mix of modern rock and classic rock songs. I really liked the title track by the School of Rock. It is a great rock song. Jack Black may not have the best voice, but the kids in the band can really play. The other song by the School of Rock It’s a Long Way To The Top is another good song that highlights these talented young musicians on individual musical solos.

I enjoyed the classic rock songs especially Sunshine of Your Love by Cream. It has one of the best opening guitar riffs I have ever heard. I also enjoyed listening to Edge of Seventeen by Stevie Nicks and Immigrant Song by Led Zeppelin. I haven’t heard these songs in years, and they sound great. I loved the songs by The Who and The Doors included on this soundtrack too. Heal Me, I’m Heartsick by No Vacancy is a beautiful rock song that I can listen to over and over. I hope to hear more from No Vacancy in the future. The School Of Rock is the one of the best soundtracks of the year. It has a great mix of old and new songs on it.

Yes, I did buy the cd without seeing the movie. But, I have my reasons. You see, my favorite performer sings two of the songs - Adam Pascal sings both “Heal Me, I’m Heartsick” and “Fight” with the band “No Vacancy”. I was a little upset that he was given no acknowledgement on the cd for his vocal performances, but then I realized that if anyone has ever heard Adam before, they would know it’s him. I did listen to the rest of the cd, and I found a lot of my favorite classical rock. Hey, who doesn’t love the Doors, right. Also, the Black Keys piece was awesome as well. Still, the two songs with “No Vacancy” (to me) are clearly the best… but then again, I’m a little prejudiced, LOL. If you liked these two songs, you may wish to look at Adam’s solo album “Model Prisoner” at http://www.adampascal.net or the soundtrack to the Musical Rent. Sorry about the biased review, I just couldn’t help it.

If you liked the movie you’ll love the CD
Bottom line: If you like the movie you’ll love this CD. It’s a high energy CD for the most part, and the only downside are Jack Black’s voice only narrations on a few short…
