It is an awesome movie.
That isn't Lee singing in the film. The voice is someone different (I think it's Marty something-that-starts-with-an-F but my CD liner notes are framed because Jason Lee signed his pic so I can't check. Sorry.) If I remember correctly, the version Lee practiced lip-synching to was sung by Crowe's beauteous and talented wife NAncy Wilson. She wrote most of the original stuff in the film.
Now you should run out and buy the soundtrack because it is sweet and it just won a grammy. And you know how effective those grammy people are at picking out quality music.

: I only *just* saw Almost Famous (yeah yeah-old to you because you're American/**insert other country of origin**-we Aussies always get films 6 months later) and I can't believe how good the film was.
: Lee got/played a good role as the lead singer, and got a helluva lot more screen time than in Enemy of the State (which coincidentially I rented this week too)-"Look out for the fire truck Jason!" "What fire truck?" SPLAT! =D
: And is that Jason singing?(sorry if that's been asked-I've been gone a while)Because if it is-man can he wail! I don't mean to brown-nose, but it's the best make actor singing I've heard yet! (well, William Shatner would count, but I'm talking good singing not funny as/lame singing =D )
: Anyhow, if there's anyone left who has not seen Almost Famous (all three of you), get off the net, open the door, get some fresh air and then go indoors SOMEWHERE ELSE and see this film! =D
