Showdown No.8: Great Music Documentaries.
(Not biopics, not concert films, unless they have a narrative)

This was HARD. I mean this is the kind of list were you're essentially just going to end up listing your favourite musicians...and, although your personal preferences are bound to come into play, I don't think that's what this list should really be about. There's tons of BBC4 documentaries out there that I've enjoyed over the years too which will unlikely for many, and therefore don't stand a snowballs of making the consensus list, so I've tried to minimise them and focus on cinema releases or really well known examples of the genre, but it's tough. And excluding concert movies too, so no Last Waltz? Ach!
