I liked the music. It was all stuff I listen to, most of it is on my mp3 player. Mindy mentioned it didn't seem to fit. I think I agree with her.

From what I recall here is the list of songs and roughly the scene they were in.

Song of Silence - Comedian Funeral
Have you ever seen the rain - cover - one of the bar scenes
Me and Bobby McGee - background music in a Vietnam bar
All along the watchtower - flight to Antarctica
Ride of the Valkyries - Vietnam flashback
Hallelujah - love scene
The Times They Are A-Changin - used during the beginning montage
You’re My Thrill - used during a rescue
I'm Your Boogie Man - background for a riot scene flashback

"Hallelujah" is the one I think was most misplaced. To me this song will be forever tied up with Shrek. Next Jimi Hendrix's version of "All along the watchtower" while I thought it sounded great, having it blast out of the theaters speakers during the owl's ships flight across the frozen ocean, didn't really feel like it made sense. The others didn't seem completely out of place, and the three songs, "the Sounds of Silence", "Ride of the Valkyries" and "The Times They Are A-Changin", were used in cliche type situations.
