Chances are, if you have found yourself on this website, then you might be a music fan. You might obsess over certain bands or artists, but in general, you probably have a profound respect for all who have attempted to make their living making music. So you are probably going to be a fan of these lists.
As a fellow music obsessive, music movies, movies with great soundtracks, and books about musicians are fascinating to me, so I've compiled my list of favorites for each (hint, pretty much any Cameron Crowe movie ever). Add yours in the comments.

THIS.
And this.
Oh, and this.
And then, of course, there's THIS.
Fan recorded videos have terrible audio and are usually not worth watching, but the audience seems stunned into silence on these videos, making it so you can actually hear. So...these:
Happy Friday Internetland.
