Almost Famous Soundtrack (2000): Every Song
Almost Famous (2000) Soundtrack: Full Song List & Credits
Set in 1973, Almost Famous follows 15-year-old aspiring rock journalist William Miller, who gets his big break writing for Rolling Stone magazine. He lands an assignment to tour with the rising band Stillwater, immersing him in a world of rock-and-roll excess, romance, and ego. Guided by his mentor Lester Bangs, William falls for "Band-Aid" Penny Lane, navigates the band's internal conflicts, and struggles to maintain his professional integrity while becoming part of the rock scene's, rather than just observing it.
