Although your better choice would probably be getting the UK version of this CD (which costs more) this version stands on its own pretty well. All of the tracks have appeared at some points on the show through seasons 1, 5, 6 and 7. My only complaint is that they could have included better tracks that were much more important to Buffy, rather than some forgettable tracks that played in the background of the Bronze.
Track listing:
1. Buffy Main Title Theme >> The Breeders.
Good enough way to start out the CD. Sounds very different and grittier than the actual theme song.
2. Stop Thinking About It >> Joey Ramone
Very addictive and good song. Appears in the episode "Beneath You"
3. Bohemian Like You >> The Dandy Warhols
Upbeat and also addictive. Appears in the episode "Checkpoint"
4. Everybody Got Their Something >> Nikka Costa
Very different feel from the rest of the songs, but welcome. Appears in the episode "All the Way"
5. Key >> Devics
Possible one of the greatest songs to ever appear in BUFFY. The atmosphere and sound of the song completely takes you back to season 5's "Crush" with Spike and Dru.
6. Sound of the Revolution >> Lunatic Calm
Okay song, could have done without.
7. Ballad for Dead Friends >> Dashboard Prophets
The gem from season 1! Awesome song!
8. Blue >> Angie Hart
This hard to find song is much appreciated on the soundtrack. From the episode "Conversations With Dead People"
9. Pavlov's Bell >> Aimee Mann
Awesome song from "Sleeper". Aimee Mann rocks.
10. There's No Other Way >> Blur
Very cool sounding song. Still, I don't even remember hearing it in Buffy.
11. The Prayer of Saint Francis >> Sarah McLachlan
This is probably the best reason to get the U.S. version. The song is so hauntingly beautiful and perfectly went along with the episode "Grave"
12. The Final Fight >> Rob Duncan
Worth the price of the CD alone. Wonderful score from "Chosen"
Overall, there are some better songs that should have made the cut, like "Full of Grace" or "Out of this World" by Bush.

First, I have the UK version of this. Yes, it has a few extra songs. But I've seen a lot of complaints here about the music choices. People are asking "why didn't they include stuff from the earlier seasons?"
The reason they didn't and instead focused on the last 2 seasons is that there was already a Buffy Soundtrack released several years ago. It had all the older stuff. It had Rasputina, K's Choice, Cibo Matto, and a lot of other things. It was released in 98 or so and you can look it up on amazon. It's really good, I have it, too.

This one is OK, but the UK version has many many more tracks. 22 I think. Either one is a great buy for a Buffy fan though!

I was about to give this album 3 stars when i realised, this soundtrack isn't so bad after all.
Sure the U.K version is better but this album still shows the kind of music buffy had. Yes, a lot of it is grungy but in a magic realism show that's to be expected; there was quite a bit of grunge music throughout the series.
The gem on this album (which the U.K. "Sunnydale Radio" doesn't have) is Sarah Mclachlan's song. No it's not the beautiful "full of grace," that plays at the end of season two as Buffy leaves her hometown bound for L.A. "Prayer for St. Francis" (an equally beautiful track I think) plays at the season 6 finale, just after Buffy and sister Dawn crawl from the grave where they had been fighting dirt demons.
It's good this track was selected over "full of grace" because it comes from a rare c.d. while "full of grace" can be found on Mclachlan's arguably best album (which also has "angel" and "do what you have to do" on it), "Surfacing."
At first when I heard there were two versions of this soundtrack (one which paled in comparison to the other) I thought, 'that sucks for the U.S I hope we get the U.K version here.' Happily we did but I also bought this album off the net and I'm pretty happy with it.
If you're choosing between the two go with the U.K version, but if you're a whacked out fan like me buy em both:D

Ok, so ever since I bought the first album, I have been praying that the wonderful song that ended Season 2 would be on it. I think that "Full of Grace" was a great song choice for the end of an amazing season. Well, that's not the song. Its a great song that is on here, and I think the whole album represents somewhat the greatness of the show, but frankly the first one was way better.
Now, had the British one had Sarah McLaughlin on it, well it would have made an amazing cd even better.
