If you could have one album be made into a musical, what would it be?

[RyanFTW]

You heard me, I want to hear some submissions! Singing, Dancing, all that.

I'm gonna say Andrew W.K.'s I Get Wet would probably be the greatest musical ever.
There are 4 songs with "Party" in the title, high school musical can suck it!

Let's hear it.

[RyanFTW]

ooooooooh.......... lead balloon factor.

[andrewa5]

Id have vnenged sevenfolds self titled album, not even for the whole album but like the song a little piece of heaven, when i listen to it i make like a sort of musical in my mind!
haha

nobody is going to come up with a better example than you just did.

Sorry bud, whole album or nothing.

May I suggest City of Evil? Although I can't stand that band that album is much more cohesive and I can think of lots of satanic properties to put into it compared to their self titled.

well just if you were to pick one album by them for it, the self titled has more depth and meaning but this is a really good idea for thread i really wanna see other peoples answers! and compare haha

[makeasound]

Pet Sounds

[RyanFTW]

Sink Or Swim by The Gaslight Anthem

Yes. This.

i have to see him live

[hf57]

either say anything albums just because some of the lyrics are so weird it'd be funny to see how they could be acted out.

[RyanFTW]

Comeback Kid's Wake the Dead
It honestly I think would be a brilliant musical.

[RyanFTW]

Every Time I Die's Hot Damn

[RyanFTW]

Boys Night Out's Trainwreck, even though it's kind of set up for that anyway.

[Anthony Lutz]

TREOS - Between The Heart And The Synapse
Emery - The Question
Say Anything - In Defense of the Genre

Those could easily be made into musicals, and would work good too.

[Machu505]

Wasn't ...Is a Real Boy written as a musical?

[YouAteMyDog182]

This may be an unlikeable choice by many.

But I can see songs from the Joshua Tree being a musical.
Especially where the streets have no name.

[thespearkid]

In the Aeroplane Over the Sea. I've thought about it a lot. It'll have nothing to do with Anne Frank.

[thespearkid]

TREOS - Between The Heart And The Synapse
Emery - The Question
Say Anything - In Defense of the Genre

*work well

And I'm not sure if In Defense would be interesting as a musical.

[poi]

[BJW7191]

Boys Night Out's Trainwreck, even though it's kind of set up for that anyway.


fuck you... i cam in here to say this (jk)

[tipoftheiceberg]

I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning

for sure

[emerypearl]

skip school, start fights.
i honestly just see it working.

[Anthony Lutz]

*work well

And I'm not sure if In Defense would be interesting as a musical.

I'm sure it could be done. They could rearrange the songs and actually make it into a story. After seeing Across The Universe, I feel that anything is possible in that aspect.

[chipdip18]

Cursive - The Ugly Organ.

[thespearkid]

I guess I'm the only one who didn't like Across the Universe.

[Regards]

A musical is like a burlap sack. I would not like to be in either.

[RyanFTW]

Across the Universe was a collective shit on musicals.

No, in fact it was eaten by shit monsters, shit out by the shit monster and then the shit monster ate the shit, and an even shittier monster ate the shit monster and the shittier monster vomited out the first shit monster, who managed to shit out across the universe but was inevitably eaten by the shittier monster who then shit it out again.

[Angylion Gefell]

Hellbilly Deluxe. That would be the funniest musical every made.

[Duexy]

alot of people hate them, but i would love to see Coheed and Cambria's IKSOSE:3 written into a musical of sorts.


don't care much for their new stuff but second stage turbine blade and the aforementioned were GREAT albums and you're on crack if you say otherwise.

[RyanFTW]

Hellbilly Deluxe. That would be the funniest musical every made.

Combine that with I Get Wet and you could have the greatest musical double feature ever.

[HangsLikeHeaven]

Till The Sun Turns Black

[elenar011]

either of the dear hunter albums?

[Duexy]

either of the dear hunter albums?


fuck yes.

i'm going to listen to Act II: The Meaning Of, And All Things Regarding Ms. Leading just because of this.

[thespearkid]

either of the dear hunter albums?
It wouldn't work for the same reason In Defense wouldn't work. Are people supposed to go to the theatre to watch the story of a boy falling in love with a girl and then losing her, without anything mildly interesting going on?

[elenar011]

well the music would be lovely

huh? i think it's perfectly set up like a musical. It has always reminded me of Les Miserables whenever I hear it. I would kill to see TDH set up on a stage like that.

[thespearkid]

Musicals need more than just good music.

Aside from having really good music in a linear story, I don't see how it would work as a musical. It has no rising action, climax, conclusion, etc.

[lucky#88]

anything by all time low...just kidding. i think decomposer by the matches would be a fun musical...or maybe doppleganger by the fall of troy

[Jumpoff]

Prince Paul's A Prince Among Thieves is the only choice.

[MADSTA]

A musical is like a burlap sack. I would not like to be in either.
I love you.

I second IDOTG and Decomposer. And even though it was written as a musical, I really want to see Razia's Shadow staged, t'would be so cool.
I also add: De-Loused In The Comatorium and Hospital Music.

[micahistheballs]

Kid A even though it'd be the dreariest musical ever.

we're only on Act II, patience is a virtue!! :)

[Judge'sDaughter]

In The Aeroplane Over The Sea

[fadedmemories]

Tell All Your Friends

[ThisIsNotDan]

A Grand Don't Come For Free by The Streets. every time I listen to it, I just imagine it being played out in real life. simple, but very entertaining

[new_arbiter]

Blur - The Great Escape

[GlamourKillsUs]

north - something corporate

808's and heartbreak - kanye west

[BJW7191]

all of a sudden i miss everyone- explosions in the sky







joke

[Anthony Lutz]

I guess I'm the only one who didn't like Across the Universe.

A lot of people I know didn't like it... I think it's one of those movies you either loved or hated.

[thespearkid]

In The Aeroplane Over The Sea
Jesse Lacey would play the lead character because he's the only one who I've ever heard do a decent NMH cover.

[pinkzeppelin182]

Blood Brothers first three albums.
This Adultery is Ripe
March on Electric Children
Burn Piano Island, Burn...
They tie together so well.


But if I have to go with just one then BPIB.

[Judge'sDaughter]

I'm actually NOT a fan of the covers he has done. I really think the lead character would be a girl, anyway.

[xBITCHxPLEASEx]

I'm already doing it. to heal by The Cambiata, along with some other songs. I'm about 25 pages in, for I intend it to be a one act.

[SLoT]

Andrew WK - I Get Wet was what I was coming in to say. How awesome that the OP put it first.
Anyway:
Sgt. Peppers,
Pet Sounds,
the Dethalbum,
Reign in Blood,
Rockin' the Suburbs,
the Stranger

Pet Sounds is a great idea.

[SLoT]

Pet Sounds is a great idea.
Yeah, I saw it on the first page, and wanted to include it in my list. I bet it would be fantastic. I also like the idea of Rockin' the Suburbs by ben folds as a musical. There's a lot of variety on that record.

[Whimsikill]

The Black Parade.

[KillerInstincts]

Brittany Spears would make an amazing musical! ANY of her cds.
lmfao.

[Jumpoff]

I don't think Pet Sounds would be a good musical story wise.

[xhandpaintedx]

i think Queen's "A Night at the Opera" would make a pretty interesting musical.

[oddwithoutend]

in defense of the genre would be pretty sweet...."that is why" already sounds like it's from a musical

[TerrancePryor]

Between The Buried and Me-"Colors"

That would be a wicked musical.

[drcroc]

mars volta - deloused in the comatorium

it would be twisted in a cirque-du-soleil style way

[xxmannequin]

this isn't my choice, but when i listened to pretty. odd., i kept thinking about how it sounded like a musical soundtrack. i think it would be cool as one. but if i actually had to pick, i don't really know.

[Hojonny]

Paper Walls - Yellowcard

I think this would actually really work well. Shadows and Regrets would be a great number.
