Released in 1984 to accompany the comedy-drama film Teachers starring Nick Nolte, JoBeth Williams, Ralph Macchio and Judd Hirsch, this soundtrack is a strong snapshot of mid-1980s rock and pop. Rather than relying on a single artist, the album brings together an impressive collection of performers including Freddie Mercury, ZZ Top, Joe Cocker, Night Ranger, .38 Special, Ian Hunter, Bob Seger and Roman Holliday.

The soundtrack is particularly sought after by fans of 1980s rock compilations thanks to Freddie Mercury’s contribution and the inclusion of several well-known radio hits from the era. A solid soundtrack album that stands on its own even for listeners who have never seen the film.
