12 Music Documentaries Everyone Should See

Alan Cross 1 Comment

If you know anything about what I do for a living, you’ll understand my soft spot for music documentaries. Cool Material has assembled this list of docs that everyone (not just every guy, as the title insists) needs to watch at least once.

I agree that everything on this list is required viewing, but I’d also include The Filth and the Fury, the definitive Julien Temple look at the Sex Pistols era.

And if you haven’t seen Dave Grohl’s Sound City, do it NOW.

  • I'd include DiG!, Devil In Daniel Johnston, and Jandek On Corwood. For some reason the last one never seems to be included on these lists. It was the original Searching For Sugarman
