Details Release Date: Dec 15, 1998; Lead Performance: Various Artists; Genre: Soundtracks

What a hodgepodge: Soul Asylum and Creed cover Alice Cooper, Shawn Mullins sprinkles '90s stardust on David Bowie's ''Changes,'' and a supergroup featuring members of Alice in Chains, Rage Against the Machine, and Porno for Pyros erects a new version of Pink Floyd's ''Another Brick in the Wall.'' Offsetting the refried nostalgia of The Faculty soundtrack are tracks from Sheryl Crow and Garbage, but D Generation's new retro-glam ''Helpless'' is the indisputable highlight. C+
