Good Movie Rock, pt. 2

Another way to use rock music effectively is to have a rock songwriter write the music and songs for your movies. I realize this is a matter of taste; I like the work Alan Price, original keyboard player in the Animals, did for Linsday Anderson in O Lucky Man! The title song summarizes what will happen to the main character, Malcolm McDowell, during the course of the movie. (Anderson is in the black leather jacket during this clip.)



I wish someone had posted the reprise of the song at the end of the movie: it rocks more, and we can see a young Helen Mirren dance, somewhat unmajestically.
