You’re the third person to say the Anvil one. My mate said as well. I’m going to guess after watching the trailer I’ll never listen to a song of theirs, but I’m reet up for that documentary.

Got a link for the Eagles one? Again, I see them as the height of boring, harmless, coffee table soft rock that one of my mates mam will like, but I’ll watch the documentary

I'm guessing it's this one due to the length

Saw it on TV one night .Probably because I knew so little of them I enjoyed it
I love any stuff like this showing band dynamics etc . Fleetwood mac the same
Knew the tunes but when you get it blow by blow its an eye opener

Even if you weren't a huge fan of the music it's a superb watch and a brilliant story of 3 best mates.
They did so much musically that most people probably have no idea about.
My niece is only 18 and she absolutely loved it and listens to them loads now.

Excellent story and the format it's delivered in was superb
 
The Carter about Lil Wayne is probably the best music doc I've seen, about as insightful and revealing a doc as you'll see even if you aren't interested in the artist/genre. To the point where Wayne eventually took them to court and tried to prevent them releasing it because it shows him taking drugs repeatedly and pretty much nearly killing himself.

Aside from that;

What Happened Miss Simone? - Nina Simone
Big Fun in the Big Town - Early Hip Hop doc
Meeting People Is Easy - Radiohead
Shut Up and Play the Hits - LCD Soundsystem
Rock The Bells - Wu Tang Clan
Jeen-Yuhs - Three part series about a young Kanye West, just came out on Netflix last month
Daft Punk Unchained
Dave Chapelle's Block Party
Hendrix and the Spook
Joe Strummer: The Future is Unwritten
Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck
Whitney: Can I Be Me
Beats, Rhymes and Life: The Travels of A Tribe Called Quest

Still waiting on a good Prince documentary.
