Days of Thunder is the soundtrack from the film of the same name, released in 1990 in the U.S. by Geffen Records and internationally by Epic Records.^[1]

"The Last Note of Freedom" was co-written by Hans Zimmer, Billy Idol and David Coverdale. Maria McKee's "Show Me Heaven" was released as a single alongside the movie. The album is also notable for the inclusion of Guns N' Roses' cover of Bob Dylan's "Knockin' on Heaven's Door", a year before the song was released with a slightly different mix (basically without the responses in the second verse) on the 1991 album Use Your Illusion II. The Cher song "Trail of Broken Hearts" was released in the single "Love And Understanding" and belongs to the recording sessions of her 1991 album Love Hurts.
