The soundtrack to Good Morning Vietnam is the play list of Adrian Cronauer, the DJ played in the film by Robin Williams. His mix is a twelve-song sampling of 60s pop, the soundtrack to an era when people listened to really, really good music. James Brown brings the soul. The Vandellas and the Marvelettes represent Motown. We get not one, but two songs by the incredible Beach Boys. If rock's what you want, look no further than Them's "Baby Please Don't Go", sung by the one and only Van Morrison. Why can't music this good be at the top of today's charts?

***** out of five
