Default FM: RockOpera: the Musical?

So, I've had this idea for a minute....we'll never read a tell-all book by Stevie Nicks and we certainly won't ever watch the FM story unfold on the big screen or the small screen for that matter. What if Mick sells his publishing rights to a playwright and then produces and astounding musical Ala Jersey Boys or Green Day's American Idiot style?

The ideas (on paper) put into creativity and transformed into a theatre music masterpiece are endless. The story would most definitely capture FM history (in the eyes of Mick) and be more on the historical lines of a musical, than say American Idiot (a musical about the rock stars album, that features fictional characters).

This musical is very rich with storyline (of rocks most (in)famous soap opera band) as well as the music, itself. Of course, it would date back to at least 1967 and transform the audience to present day and beyond. Those of you that have seen Jersey Boys will certainly envision what I am typing about. For those that have not, just imagine the journey that FM has taken in a play/musical atmosphere with all the drama/heartbreak/success/drama/fake bands/divorces/affairs/hit singles/drama/reunion/etc.

This thread is for fun...please all be as creative and outlandish as you wish, without rewriting history (of course). I ask that you list the most influential songs that FM have recorded/played over the years that would complete this musical journey.
There are no specific rules to the creativity you can come up with, with the small disclaimer that THIS IS NOT about SN and LB joining FM, but about the whole bands journey in establishing fame and fortune. (Although the majority songs from 75-87 “hit” period are obviously acceptable). In the journey to success, there may be one or two musical numbers that played a significant role in the band forming, performing, continued success, etc. Such as John Mayall, Clapton, Santana, The Beatles, Beach Boys, Everly Bros., Joplin, Hendrix, or even as far back as Chicken Shack, Elmo James, Willie Dixon, or even Elvis.

To get you all started I have listed a couple:
My Heart Beat Like a Hammer
Shake your Moneymaker

also included the promos to the above mention musicals:
