Free Music Notes for Almost Famous
Free Music Review: Nice movie, good choice of classic tunes for the Soundtrack... But an AWFUL soundtrack album! Blah!!!
Hit: 1 Stars
I watched "Almost Famous" one or two times, mostly 'cause I liked the songs selection for the soundtrack very, very much.
... However, how can you explain that a 50+ songs Soundtrack played along the movie, result in just a 17-piece OST album?... Why not a 3-CD Box instead, including all the great tunes in the movie???...
These guys in the music Soundtrack industry... No further comments! BLAH!!!!
Free Music Review: Great movie, awesome soundtrack.
Hit: 5 Stars
I'm not in the habit of buying movie soundtracks, in fact I think this is my second, the first was a cassette a long time ago(Sliver?). Cameron Crowe and his wife Nancy Wilson (who is actually responsible for the movie score by the way) obviously have a very acute appreciation for music.
I'm sure that more songs could have been added but they chose what they thought was most appropriate. Personally I am not a fan of every single song but I can listen to them.
My favorite song is Elton John's Tiny Dancer because of how well it goes with what I consider to be the best scene in the movie. I noticed from some of the other reviews that I am not the only one who thinks that. Every time I hear the song now I think of that scene on the bus, as do many other folks I'm sure. It get a ball in my throat when I hear it.
The second would be Bowie's live cover of I'm Waiting for the Man originally written by Lou Reed during his years with the Velvet Underground. America by Simon & Garfunkel is probably the most effective at putting you in the period of time(brilliant choice). I'm only slightly too young to remember these guys but I now feel like I missed something after hearing the song again in the context of this movie. Feel Flows, and That's the Way are also great. As for Feel Flows I recently purchased a bunch of Beach Boys CD's. New found appreciation.
I'm not in the habit of buying DVD's either but I am going to make an exception when we finally get a Bluray disk player. For whatever reason, I can't quite put my finger on it, but this was one of my favorite movies.
Free Music Review: 18 all over again!

OK, I will make this a quick one. If you survived the 70's, congratulations. I know I had more fun than in any other decade of my life. Listen up, this CD is a perfect companion to the DVD. I just watched the video not long ago, and it brought tears to my eyes as I remembered the music, the house parties, the drunken reverie, and just plain old good times. You could walk around at 2:00 AM and not worry about getting mugged or shot. The movie takes place around 1973 - my senior year of high school! I loved the music on this! I had to smile when I heard "Sparks" from the Who - this song is featured on a car commercial now. Good choice of Zeppelin songs. Too bad the Stones wouldn't play nice and contribute. By the way, reading the reviews makes it apparent that a lot of people are unfamiliar with the Zeppelin tunes. Hey, every serious music fan of the 70's MUST own every Zeppelin CD. Mandatory item. Also every Lynyrd Skynyrd CD up through "Street Survivors". And every Allman Brothers CD through "Brothers and Sisters". This CD is a pretty good sampler and souvenir of the movie. Get it!Free Music Review: The Movie Made Me Want the CD

I bought this CD because I loved the music in the movie. I was not let down, just awesome.Free Music Review: I love this movie and I love this soundtrack...
Hit: 4 Stars
but I wish, like many reviewers have already stated, that it contained some more of the wonderful music that was played in the film. Personally I would have been happy if Hendrix, Black Sabbath, and more Zeppelin were included! A two-disc soundtrack would have been awesome! With that said, the songs that are on here are fantastic!!! Among the others I really love simple man, fever dog, tiny dancer and something in the air! If you loved the movie, buy it! If you're into classic rock, buy it! If you've never seen the movie...you must! The heart of the movie IS the music!
