The Over the Edge soundtrack captures the rebellious, youthful spirit of the 1979 cult classic film. Packed with influential rock hits, it includes the The Car's "My Best Friend's Girl" and "Just What I Needed", both top 40 hits and staples of the emerging New Wave sound. Van Halen's powerful cover of "You Really Got Me" and the Ramones' "Teenage Lobotomy" add edgy punk and hard rock flair, making this soundtrack a snapshot of late '70s rock that resonated with a generation.
