Songs about music/musicians
« on: September 02, 2015, 02:37:53 PM »
Hey people,

I'm trying to put together a mixtape (not for any monetary reward; just to share with friends).  The mixtape has a theme: Songs About Music.

A couple tracks I have to give you an idea of the direction this is going in:

Music Is Love - David Crosby
I Need That Record - The Tweeds
Dear Elvis Presley - Kaleidoscope

Please suggest more in this vein.

American Music Club--Johnny Mathis' Feet
Warren Zevon (off the live album)--Bo Diddley is a Gunslinger
Creedence-Traveling Band
Dump--I can hear music
Wilco-Heavy Metal Drummer
Hold Steady-Most People are DJ's

I almost listed AC/DC --It's a Long Way to the Top. But I worked at a bar once many years ago where that was on the jukebox and it was easily the most played song. I've heard those damn bagpipes too many times in this life.
