Jeff Spicer / Stringer2019 seems to be the year of music artist biopics. Last year's success with Bohemian Rhapsody certainly encouraged the sophomore wave that followed. Rocketman, Yesterday, and Blinded By The Light all hit theaters this summer. And with them came some pretty cool soundtracks.
Rocketman is the story of Elton John, complete with many picks from his catalog. Most of those songs were sung by the lead actor, Taron Egerton. There is also a new Elton John song that plays over the ending credits.
Himesh Patel is the star of Yesterday, the movie where the world forgets the Beatles. Only 16 of their hits were used, and Patel sings the majority of the soundtrack.
Blinded By The Light is the Bruce Springsteen story. The boss himself sings most of the tracks and one of his previously unreleased songs is included as well.
So which soundtrack is the best? Read on.
