Dazed and Confused, without question, features the best collection of classic and hard rock cuts to be found on any soundtrack, anywhere. It wouldn't be a cheat to simply post the tracklist and state "there!"

There's more too it than just "these songs are sick" however. See, while it's set in the 70s, the film was made in the 90s, and it wisely chose to select the best of the best from the era - the songs that have aged incredibly well. The songs that kids in the 90s, and in some cases even more recently, still listened to.

Those include Black Sabbath's Paranoid and Alice Cooper's School's Out (which happens to turn up in two of the best rock soundtracks ever). Along with those: Foghat, ZZ Top, Ted Nugent, The Runaways, Deep Purple, KISS, and Lynyrd Skynyrd. There would have been a Led Zepplin track as well, but Robert Plant was the lone holdout among the surviving members.

It matters not. Dazed and Confused is still the ultimate rock soundtrack.

There's no question that there are lots of other worthy rock soundtracks out there - add your picks below!.
