What other artists could a Bohemian Rhapsody-type work for?

You didn't like Lady Sings The Blues?

 

I know a young lady who could easily sing it. No idea if she can act though:

 

In my opinion it's a flawed premise to begin with, since BoRhap is one of the most fictionalized biopix ever (and that is saying something), with a more-than-usual-for-films interference with timelines and events. Taking this approach did the film and the band no favors whatsoever. The line in which it is said that they "hadn't played together in years" before Live Aid is an outrageous untruth (amongst many), which then becomes the (fake) platform for cranking up pre-Live Aid movie theater audience tension not necessary at all to the story. I get the O.P. premise here, but if to achieve a similar effect artist stories must be twisted into nothing better than a party balloon animal a lá BoRhap, I'll pass.

 

Free
Fleetwood Mac (they could make four movies out of it)

 

The Cramps

 

Marianne faithfulls life story is a movie waiting to be made......

 

No

 

I just did a spit-take laughing, all over my monitor.

 

The Rolling Stones, starting with Mick and Keith’s kindergarten friendship and ending with the triumphant Steel Wheels “reunion” and stadium tour.

 

My wife went to see the film Bolden today, about the man who supposedly invented Jazz.
