What are some good documentaries, about bands and/or music in general, that you've seen??

One of my favorite music-related documentaries is about the creation, history leading up to, creation, and impact of the Rolling Stones' album "Exile on Main Street." It has some nifty stories about how some of the songs were written and recorded, and altogether was done nicely.

Stones in Exile (link to trailer)





I also saw a pretty good Pink Floyd documentary on Netflix, but it didn't have as many good stories as Stones in Exile

Best ever. After you watch it you'll want to show it to everyone that ever comes over to your house, it's that great.

Depeche Mode 101:

Documents the American tour of the Music For the Masses album which culminated in a sellout of the Rose Bowl in Pasadena which sort of officially launched Depeche as a stadium act in USA. The documentary also follows about 8 teen or twenty-something contest winners together on a tour bus and hotel stops who go to go to all the shows including the Rose Bowl show. This was really groundbreaking at the time as the Real World and other reality shows had not been produced yet. Interesting documentary if you are a Depeche fan or even a "reality" show fan

"Stones in Exile" is a pretty solid one. One of my favorites is "When You're Strange," about the Doors, specifically Jim Morrison, and it was made to rebuff a lot of the 1991 Oliver Stone biopic. It's on Netflix.

Also, George Harrison doc on HBO was very good.
There's a good one on Tom Petty I've seen but the name escapes me.
