Which bands songs appear....

[goughy]

the most in movies etc. I was just watching Ace Ventura (JC's best work in my opinion, it still makes me cry (in a good way)) and heard an aerosmith song playing. It made me think of which band/performer has had songs appear in movies more than anyone else.

I'm thinking aerosmith has to right up there. They seem to appear in every second movie these days. I don't think bryan adams would even be close to them.

Who else can you think of??

And I'm not talking about a song faintly in the background. I mean the song used for say a specific sequence ('dude looks like a lady' during the sequence of Mrs Doubtfire for instance), opening or closing credits etc. omething significant.

Big thread here Dean.

Now that we have our own exoerts in the west in Aldo and the Yank maybe they can help us out.

I am thinking Badly Drawn Boy would be the winner of most songs appearing in the one movie from their album About A Boy, in the Hugh Grant movie of the same name.

[dc68]

My bet would be The Doors from the movie of the same name.

I think that should be an instant DQ, considering the movie is about the band itself.

Touch and go between them and ABBA The Movie.

Come on, the movie can't be about the band itself! Otherwise I vote the Wiggles in The Wiggles Movie.

Funny this got picked up, as my BIL and I were talking about it today, after a Bryan Adams song was played at work. We're thinking him, aerosmith and ac/dc.

Not including movies about bands!!!!

[Bruce Dickinson]

the Rolling Stones

[sms316]

The Spice Girls movie?

[markTHEblake]

Giorgio Moroder (though technically not a band) has about 10.

[Webster]

Bee Gees

[Johnny Canuck]

You are right, it was some of my best work. Thanks for the compliment. I also really enjoyed "Dumb and Dumber" (Aus title DC68 & G69).

Dude looks like a Lady is also in the 80's comedy Vice Versa.

The beatles made those movies, not technically about the band but self promotion anyway. I think ZZTop have had a few as well. What about Elvis? Chuck Berry? Barry White?

[henno]

What about Elvis?

Duh, of course! I think we have a weiner!

Hot Dog! We have a Weiner! How about Bill Haley, every happy days episode! Oops, only the first 2 seasons ...
