Re: Instant classic scene?

I haven't read mention of any of the other music on Sam's soundtrack, but 
everybody's noticed The Who, for sure.  Here's excerpts from another review, 
Jack Garner, Gannett:

Suspicious neighbors and jealous lovers shout at each other.  Tempers boil 
over, threats are made and fingers pointed.  Sex is frequent, but sweaty and 
often guilt-ridden.  Swirling cameras generate grainy, unsettling images 
while The Who's "Won't Get Fooled Again" pounds on the soundtrack...

...Never boring on the screen, the film continues to pop frequently in and 
out of my head in the days since.  (That alone is remarkable in this age of 
quickly forgettable entertainemnt.)  "Summer of Sam" is a potent portrait of 
community hysteria, an urban nightmare that trips along the irrational 
fringes of fear.  Berkowitz took his orders from a dog, but this film 
suggests we all have to deal with voices that come from the dark corners 
within us.
