Already on the list mate

Can’t find that on IMBD like. Nick Cave is one I keep going back to. I’m more loud guitars than the piano stuff like.

Sky Arts mate. Think it's on again this week iirc (or its just been on again). Aye, the man is a genius.

One for the North East dancers of 2 different generations.

The Classic Albums series on Sky Arts is well worth a look.

Quadrophenia and Tommy fillums.

 

[cluffy]

We Are Twisted F***** Sister is immense.
The four hour Tom Petty one is great too.
Scorcese's George Harrison one.
Dr Feelgood one.

 

[The Music Man]

Enjoyed The Sparks Brothers recently. I second the recommendation from @Arkle for The Devil & Daniel Johnston.

 

[TNT73]

The Kids are Alright - The Who

 

[mad cyril]

Springsteen on Broadway is the best music doc / tele / show thing you’ll watch.

 

[Exapno Mapcase]

Blue Suede Shoes 1980 film about the Teds and Rockabilly world then. Some great performances and a reminder that music tribalism was alive and kocking tgen

Neither could I, but it’s my thread

Sorry I thought I'd posted this earlier

Standing in the shadows of Motown is a good watch.

The Muscle shoals doc is good too. (I did a road trip to Muscle Shoals, Clarksdale, and Memphis. Well worth it if you ever have the chance)

The story of Anvil is outstanding.

Watched it on IMDB. Does look good like.

Watched it a while ago. Might give it another go as I’m at Peter Hook doing Unknown Pleasure & Closer in a few weeks.

Dig! is already on the list. Stick the other two on. Don’t know a lot about Killing Joke, so that’d be canny.

 

[Billy Fish]

Surprised it took to page 3 for Quadrophenia to get a mention

I knew an old punk at work,who used to mention how crackers killing joke were.So I watched the film with that in mind.But I didn't know they were this crackers.Off the scale.

That 1971 looks brilliant.It lists all those radical artists,then it mentions The Osmonds!Although crazy Horses is a great song about eco destruction.So i suppose they do deserve to be in there.I still haven't seen the Poly Styrene one as well.That looks class

 

[Missplaced Childhood]

The Poly Styrene X-Ray Spex documentary is excellent even if your not a fan of punk, very moving.

I really enjoyed the new Biffy Clyro documentary that's on Amazon Prime at the moment, been a fan of theirs since the early days so was great to see some old archive footage from the early 2000s - Biffy Clyro: Cultural Sons of Scotland [Official Trailer]

Foo Fighters: Back and Forth from 2011 is excellent too, may prove to be harder to watch now Taylor has sadly passed away but it was great to hear the bands history up to the Wasting Light album.

I liked the Kurt Cobain docs too (Montage of Heck / Soaked in Bleach)
