Albums that Could make Great Movies

From what I've read from the great history of popular music, some of the greatest albums were emotionally difficult on its artists, producers and engineers. And part of me wishes to see that dramatized. Here is a list (with reasons) of recordings/productions of great albums and why they would be great to see on the big screen.


3 – The Sex Pistols' Never Mind The Bollocks. Trying to make an album where the entire country, the entire upper class and the entire monarchy is against you is a feat worth seeing on the big screen. (Jonathan Rhys Meyers as Johnny Rotten.)

2 – The Beatle's Abbey Road. The greatest music band of all time in its final days. Enough said. (Diego Luna as Paul McCartney.)

1 – Fleetwood Mac's Rumors. Not only a fantastic pop record, but probably the most sexually divisive record ever made. Try writing a hateful song about an ex lover and then recording that hateful song with your ex lover! (Scarlett as Stevie.)




Life After Death Biggie (last album like the Beatles)

Combat Rock by The Clash (last album like the Beatles)

Odessey and Oracle by The Zombies (the best epitome of the hippie generation)

Movement by New Order (the most successful album from a band whose lead singer just died)

Trout Mask Replica Beefheart (where Alternative music began)

London Calling (just a great album)

VU and Nico (just a great album)

Minuits latest album would be an awesome movie (find me before I die a lonely death)

Any good album tells a story me thinks...
