Amazon.com: Director Joel Schumacher, who went on to helm many big-budget, tiny-intellectual movies, gave us an 1980s update of the story of the vampire. It was all hip, good-looking, and tremendously vacuous. Similarly, the music doesn't break any new ground or offer much that's timeless. INXS' collaborations with Jimmy Barnes are fine, for instance, but Foreigner vocalist Lou Gramm's "Lost in the Shadows (The Lost Boys)" verges on the painful in a way that only overwrought 1980s music can. Roger Daltrey's take on Elton John's "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" is by the numbers, and so wasted. It's only Echo and the Bunnymen's cover of The Doors' "People Are Strange" that warrants much attention, even if it's, erm, buried. --Scott Wilson
Rating: - Essential '80s Soundtrack
It's funny how what should have been an overlooked and forgotten horror flick became a pop culture touchstone. The Lost Boys hit that sweet spot between camp and cool, and holds a special place in the hearts of many children of the `80s, and so does its soundtrack.
There are a lot of great `80s pop soundtracks, but there's something special about The Lost Boys album. You've got a pair of INXS collaborations with Jimmy Barnes, solo material from Lou Gramm and Roger Daltrey, and some absolutely ... Read More
Rating: - Timeless music that lifts you to a higher world
What a delicious blend of classic 1980s music. With the whole teen vampire craze in full force, I couldn't help but reminisce about the film Lost Boys and its soundtrack. I just read an amazing new teen vampire book set in the late 80's that mentioned Lost Boys and a bunch of other pop 80s media and it got me hungry for my old Lost Boys CD. The music just takes you to another dimension, a mysterious world where you feel like you are flying free through an endless night sky, your hair ripping in the wind, your ... Read More
Rating: - Great soundtrack
Classic soundtrack from a cult movie. Two great tracks performed by INXS (One of them is The Doors' People are strange), other tracks very good to hear.
Rating: - Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me!
I actually preferred Roger Daltrey's rendition of the song, "Don't Let the Sun Go Down On Me," before Sir Elton John or George Michael's performance. This compact disc only has the songs that were on the original soundtrack. I know because I had the cassette many years ago. I find the collection of songs to be both eclectic and memorable.
I still can't believe that Corey Haim who played in the film died this year and everybody has grown up. I was an eighties child of course. Music and movies coincided ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent CD.
I owned the cassette tape years ago, and missed all the great songs from this soundtrack, so I bought the CD. GREAT SOUNDTRACK - EXCELLENT MOVIE!!!
