The accompanying film recreates the original vibe of the '70s television show so brilliantly it's no wonder the producers decided to stick with the real thing for the soundtrack to Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson's hilarious remake of Starsky & Hutch. So no embarrassing contributions from Sugar Ray or OutKast (Anyone remember the unfortunate "Land of a Million Drums" from the Scooby Doo movie?), but a great if slightly used roller-disco soundtrack courtesy of the Jackson Five ("Dancing Machine") and KC & The Sunshine Band ("That's The Way I Like It"), balanced out by some marshmallow pop like Starland Vocal Band's "Afternoon Delight" and earnest country rock by Johnny Cash ("Folsom Prison Blues") and Waylon Jennings ("I'm a Ramblin' Man"). This is what the radio used to sound like before the robots took over. --Aidin Vaziri

 Where's BM, Aerosmith? August 27, 2004

I can't believe Barry Manilow and Aerosmith were left out. Looking at the quality of some of the other songs on the soundtrack, maybe it is better for them not to be associated with it. It is bad enough that the Carpenters tune is missing but "Can't smile without you" opens the movie and "Sweet emotion" ends it. The soundtrack should have followed that formula.
 Good, but could have been better... May 25, 2004

This soundtrack isn't a total loser. There are some definite highlights such as; "Dazz" by Brick an all-time favorite. Chicago's "Old Days" is a great 70's tune and a great way to open this disc. "Afternoon Delight" is truly is a delightful piece of pop confection. I always enjoy anything by Bill Withers. But the album would have been better without the cover versions by Owen Wilson, Dan Finnerty, and Brigette Romanek. The originals are far superior.
A few songs in the movie that were not included would have made the soundtrack much better. One is Aerosmith's "Sweet Emotion", a great 70's hard rock tune. The other is the Carpenters' classic "We've Only Just Begun". I'm sure though that royalties for "We've Only Just Begun" are very expenisve.
 Disappointing May 9, 2004

David Soul's version of "Don't Give Up On Us" was not included - to me, that would have been the ONLY reason to purchase this CD. David Soul has a wonderful voice, and shouldn't have been mocked by Owen Wilson's version. But after listening to this CD, if I were David Soul, I'd keep my version of the song off of this CD. There's only two original version songs that I liked. And the original Starsky & Hutch theme song should have been included on here. I know the movie's a re-make, but let's not forget the originals, they can never be replaced!
 Good CD; Song Selection Questioned March 15, 2004
I enjoy a good 1970s compilation CD. Starsky & Hutch starts out strong with Chicago's "Old Days" and Brick's "Dazz". I even enjoyed the new 70's-styled theme song "Two Dragons". I was puzzled why they included Owen Wilson's purposely-poor rendition of "Don't Give Up On Us". It's difficult to listen to even on a good day. I was also not amused by Dan Finnerty's (famous for singing songs sung by women) cheesy "Feel Like Makin Love". I would have much preferred these songs be replaced by Barry Manilow's syrupy "Can't Smile Without You" and the Aerosmith tune featured in the movie. This inclusion would have added an additional star.
 Great Soundtrack with 70's Pop Star Maxine Nightingale March 9, 2004

This soundtrack is the one of the best compilations of 70's music out there. Maxine Nightingale's hard to find track "Right Back Where We Started From" fits well, along with great songs from Chicago, Johnny Cash, The Jackson 5, the Dazz Band and Bill Withers. A must have for your car or home. The soundtrack is a must have.
