Overview

The Forrest Gump soundtrack is a two-disc journey through three decades of American popular music, mirroring the film's run from the 1950s to the 1980s. It plays like a perfectly sequenced oldies radio dream: Elvis, Aretha, CCR, The Doors, The Byrds, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Fleetwood Mac, Willie Nelson — over thirty classics in a row.

Disc one leans into the 50s and 60s — "Hound Dog," "Respect," "California Dreamin'," "Mrs. Robinson." Disc two carries through the late 60s and 70s, from "San Francisco" to "Sweet Home Alabama" and "On the Road Again," closing with Alan Silvestri's tender "Forrest Gump Suite."

For anyone who loves the era — or the film — it's one of the great compilation soundtracks, and the double-disc set is the fullest version.
