Boy have I got news for you!
My time to shine.
Bob Dylan - Hurricane (which actually became a movie starring Denzel Washington in 1999).
That song is amazing!
Rime of the Ancient Mariner
That damned albatross!
different genre but related is “the mariner’s revenge song”
Tom Petty, running down a dream.
American Pie - Don McLean
Coheed and Cambria has entered the chat
I just don’t know, man.
I think their songs would make for interesting comics, though!
Tweeter and the Monkeyman
Sometimes I don’t think about nothing but the monkey man
100%. I always thought I was alone in thinking it.
Nice try, Hollywood
Drat! You got me!
Several rush songs. 2112, Hemispheres, cygnus x-1
Dream Theater - Metropolis.
Alternatively, Metropolis pt II - Scenes from a Memory, if you find an ambitious producer.Honestly Scenes from a Memory would make a great movie, and now I have to go listen to it again
Tarkus. Giant monsters battling is always fun.
Alice’s Restaurant Massacree
- Yours Truly, 2095 - Electric Light Orchestra
- Underneath the Radar - Underworld
- Silent Running - Mike and the Mechanics
I’d love to see a movie based on Silent Running. But I’m afraid it’s shaping out to be a documentary…
(The existing movie of the same name has nothing in common with the song, but it’s worth watching anyway.)
Yes, Wikipedia says:
Rutherford named the song after the film Silent Running “because I remembered that film so well, and our song had a spacey feel to it.”
I always imagine All Along the Watchtower as a 1980’s fantasy movie along the lines of Red Sonya or The Beastmaster.
