It's funny you say that. I recently picked up "America-The Complete 
Greatest Hits".  You know, I'm not sure how often I'll listen to it 
but it's been fun to hear some of the songs again. That said, I have 
been struck by how clunky and/or silly (to my ears) some of the 
lyrics are.  

Back to the music in film thread...I just saw "Stranger then 
Fiction" which I thought was terrific. But, it also has a few nice 
moments with music. I can say no more. :)
