The music is good music.

Let's see Eric Clapton, Willie Dixon, Robin Trower, Patsy Cline, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Bob Dylan, Rick Derringer, Johnny Winter, the Ohio Players, Charlie Daniels Band, Bonnie Rait, Freddy Fender? They all suck right?
You likely don't even know who most of them are.
For a movie set in the mid 70's and in the South this soundtrack was on point which shows you didn't have a clue when you made your comment.
I've watched this movie a few times and it's one of my favorite movies - that deals with drug use along with Trainspotting & Drugstore Cowboy.

Nooo I and probably other Music gems Love this film!
I loved it.
And Trust me, I have taste is Films. A Good film is nothing without a Good soundtrack
You dear, gave bad faste in music.

Sure it did. You go and make a better movie now. We'll wait here. Make some good music, too, while you're at it, boy.

Not sure what you're talking about. They were playing very cool mid '70s (and earlier) music all through the film.

The OP is right, even though this is supposed to take place in the mid 70's that solo guitar dates it as the late 80's early 90's. Think Lethal Weapons score. It was obnoxious at times. Should've stuck to my Hendrix

Part of the problem is that the film takes place in 1974 when this was a popular sound, next to disco. I thought the film sucked in general, and the music was overdone in placesbut I think the film ruined the music more so.

You have got to be kidding. The movie was released in 1991, but it's a period piece. It's 1974 Houston, Texas. It's supposed to sound dated.
