A compilation of late 70s rock and new wave pop, the Fast Times at Ridgemont High soundtrack features nineteen songs, almost all of which were either written specifically for the film, like Billy Squire's Fast Times (The Best Years of Our Lives) or had not yet appeared on any previous release by the artist. Eighties hipsters like The Go-Go's, Oingo Boingo, and Quarterflash contributed catchy singles, while Don Henley and Joe Walsh, formerly of the Eagles, and Graham Nash of Crosby, Stills & Nash each added quality tracks. Other well-known artists include Jackson Browne, Sammy Hagar, Jimmy Buffet, Donna Summer and Stevie Nicks.
