...while I have no insider view to offer, I didn't communicate my thoughts very well.
For those of us who are passionate about music, like you and I, and I suspect Mr. Crowe, any autobiographical work most likely will contain music that is important to us in that time of our life, but may not resonate the same way with everyone else, particularly film reviewers who don't know what it's like to be passionate about music.
As trite as it is, 'music is the soundtrack of our lives' and if it were my life being portrayed, I can think of some of the music which would be included that made a big impression on me at various times.
As 'Elizabethtown' is also somewhat biographical, it is difficult to say whether Crowe's musical choices were for effect or because they were important to him at that time in his life.
As for Mr. Shepherd, you have quoted him numerous times here and IIRC, labeled him as your favorite.
