If there’s one movie I could watch over and over again, it will be Empire Records (1995). It’s not an Oscar-winning or any other award-winning movie for that matter, but it has got a bunch of young movie superstars-to-be, a supeeerb boss, memorable quotes, and one hell of a soundtrack. This movie and soundtrack inspired my youth in the 1990s. Oh cliché.
So here in the spirit of ushering the new year, I present to you, my entire collection of tracks from Empire Records I have managed to find over the years.
Damn the man. Save the empire!

OMG Biggest Empire Records fan EVER here. I just love it. I can quote it word for work. And Joe, that list of songs is very impressive. Can I steal them?
Sure, Klarek. Steal them away! Be sure to return to the site though
thanks for a great memory of a favorite movie.
my pregnant wife and i enjoyed hearing the songs that we didn’t have in the original soundtrack disk.

I love this movie and bought the album but was soo disappointed that it didn’t have all the songs. I have been searching for them since then. Great to have found your site, only problem?….. None of the links seem to work. Pleas let me know if you have moved the files and where I can access them
Thanks soooooooo much ;0)

Sorry about that.
By the way… You have a very nice site. I just finished visiting all of it and it is indicative of the hard work and care that you have put into it.
It is appreciated, take care of yourself..
