Other great music scene from Almost Famous worth mentioning: Cat Stevens "The Wind" while Penny is dancing in the deserted venue. 'nother Elton John track "Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters" while William chases after Penny.

"Shooting Star" during the opening credits of WONDERLAND is one of my favs...also, I really like the guitar riff they're playing at the end of The Departed, when the rat is crawling on the terrace.
