The Farrelly brothers, who brought us Dumb and Dumber and There's Something About Mary, have written a humorous tale starring Alec Baldwin, Shawn Hatosy, and George Wendt about a kid whose blue-collar dad ships him off to a prep school to learn how the better half lives. Plenty of classic rock accompanies the kid's travails since the movie has been set in the early 1970s, when The Eagles, Paul McCartney and Wings, and Steely Dan were the obvious soundtrack to one's coming of age. The Who's "Won't Get Fooled Again" leads things off (much as it summed things up for Spike Lee's Summer of Sam). Free's classic rock staple "All Right Now" (the predecessor to Bad Company) is a natural, as is Lee Michael's rough and tumble "Do You Know What I Mean." And while "Stairway to Heaven" doesn't make an appearance, you can still flick your Bic to Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Free Bird." --Rob O'Connor

Great Soundtrack.......2006-02-24

This is an awesome collection of classic rock! Great Tunes, Good Times, Picm this up if you're into REAL rock n' Roll!

After 30 YEARS, I get it ALL! Thank you!.......2003-12-31

"Dancin' In the Moonlight" is MY song! I've waited so long to get this one hit wonder song on a good compilation album. In fact, I ordered it because it was on this one! This song has always screamed "happy" and taken me back to a favorite time in my life (one not filled with anyone in particular, but just singular happy moments and dreams of what "might be"). Of course, I know all of the other hits too. This album runs the gamut from my early teens right through my college years. I remember dancing to all of these at many a frat party. Incredible grouping of some fantastic songs! I'm sending this one to my best friend. Won't HE be surprised? Man, this one REALLY takes me back......and back.....and back........shhhhh.....gotta go dance now! (BIG GRIN!)

Roundabout.......2003-08-18

The answer to the question of the song playing in the guy's room when they get busted by Funderdurk is called Roundabout by YES.

The Best.......2002-04-07

This is 1 of the best soundtracks ever. every song on here is a classic. from start to finish it is sheer classicness. There could've been more songs but most CDs could have more songs.

Does any one know the song that was playing on the record player when they all got busted by Mr Funderburk in their dormroom?

Outside of King Harvest, Providence scores big with me.......2001-10-05

Outside Providence was a good movie, but it has an even better soundtrack with such fine songs as Won't get Fooled Again (The Who), Band on the Run (Wings), Roundabout (Yes), Long Train Runnin' (Doobie Brothers) among many others. One of those soundtrakcs, or even just albums that you can listen to over an over again (as long as you skip song 10). Highly reccomendable, especially for people who do like the music.
