Listography-Your life in playlists

It makes me sad to think of how much longer this list is going to get in the next 10-20 years.

Oooh--bad mojo!!! Don't say things like that!!

List Your Favorite Music Biopics & Documentaries


Off hand....

The Buddy Holly Story
LaBamba
Amadeus
The Doors
What's Love Got To Do With It
Coal Miner's Daughter

I'll be anxious to see some of these because I know there's probably several I'd like to see but haven't.

[whitcap]

The first ones that come to mind are

Jackson Browne: Going Home
Hotel California: LA From The Byrds to the Eagles
Ray

[Freypower]

Amadeus is one of my Top 10 favourite movies. I have seen most of the ones TBF listed but I didn't think they were that great. I did like Walk The Line about Johnny Cash.

In terms of documentaries the magnificent Beatles Anthology stands alone.

[TimothyBFan]

It's been awhile since we've done this, so I thought I'd revive this thread.

[Freypower]

I assume you mean from bad mood to good mood? There is one absolute certainly for me & that's Solid Rock by Dire Straits. I see whitcap mentions Walk Of Life. I will think about this. But Willie - Immigrant Song; yes. I thought about it before I saw it on your list. More later.

[tequila girl]

wc - "Old time rock and roll" Bob Seger....just took me back a bit, I used to have a couple of his Albums and I haven't listened to them in ages....must dig them out - Thanks!

[Freypower]

I've been thinking about this all morning. I will try to restrict this to one song per artist or the list will never end. I will cheat in one way & list one entire album that is mood changing for me; Making Movies by Dire Straits (which also means I don't have to list Solid Rock & can choose another DS song)!

Take It Easy - Eagles

Start Me Up - Rolling Stones
Tangled Up In Blue - Bob Dylan

Respect - Aretha Franklin
Lookin' Out My Back Door - CCR

There, for me, you have some of the greatest songs ever written. But these ARE mood changers.

* This is a breakup song but it is so exhilarating I had to include it.
** Ditto.
