The movie starts off with a bang with "Come and Get Your Love," by Redbone and doesn't ever really quit.
The songs are not just a fun blast from the past, but are integral to the story and carefree, fun mood of the film.
"One of the main story points in the movie is that [hero Peter] Quill [played by Chris Pratt] has this compilation tape that he got from his mother before she died that she made for him. It was of songs that she loved, all songs from the 1970s, and that's the only thing he has left of his mother and that's the only thing he has left of his home on Earth. He uses that as a connection to his past and to the sadness that he feels of having left all that and lost all that." — Empty Lighthouse Magazine
The soundtrack is not unsurprisingly, already a bestseller on iTunes and other outlets and there's already a wish list circulating of what songs might turn up on "Awesome Mix Vol. 2."
