Most Excellent Teen Movie Soundtracks
Grease
(Polydor, 1978)
Talk about legs: Walk into any karaoke bar now, three decades after this soundtrack was released, and you're bound to hear at least one (and, more likely, three or four) songs from this album. "Summer Nights," "Greased Lightning," "You're the One That I Want"... the sentiments are universal, the angst crosses generations, and the suggestive-yet-chaste(ish) behavior isn't so bad that parents won't share this one with their kids — making it the rare musical whose music's as beloved as its story.
