Joe Dirt
Classic rock means different things to different people. But when it comes to the 1970s, kitsch classics reign supreme.Joe Dirtis a comedy that combines the '70s stoner vibe with the air-guitar dreamers of the '80s. There are stacks of both overplayed and overlooked hard rock that could accompany this trip down memory lane. At only 12 tracks, this brief introduction is for those who have never experienced classic rock radio.Ted Nugent's "Cat Scratch Fever,"Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Sweet Home Alabama," and theDoobie Brothers' "China Grove" are obvious staples, whileArgent's 1972 hit "Hold Your Head Up" andApril Wine's 1978 track "Roller" border on the obscure.George Thorogoodblows out his amp with a pulverizing version ofBo Diddley's "Who Do You Love."  But the inclusion ofCheap TrickandEddie Moneytips the balance toward pop rock that most self-respecting mullet-heads would never order up on the local jukebox.--Rob O'Connor
