Dear fans,
This year, we watched a lot more great music documentaries. So many, in fact, that this is just a piece. So here’s my top 10 music documentaries we watched in 2023. I hope you check them out.
- Little Richard: I Am Everything is a new documentary about Little Richard’s life and his music. My parents and I watched it all together and we loved it.
- Everyday Sunshine: The Story of Fishbone is a documentary about an all-black rock band from L.A called Fishbone. They never got really big but they ARE really good.
- Fight the Power: How Hip Hop Changed the World is a three part series on the history of hip hop from the beginning of hip hop up until recently.
- Bad Brains: A Band in DC is a documentary about the black punk band Bad Brains. They were from Washington DC… much like a certain handsome man we all know. 😊.
- Laurel Canyon: A Place in Time is a three part series about the music scene in Laurel Canyon, California in the 60s and 70s.
- Hype! is a documentary about the Seattle rock scene.
- Salad Days is a documentary about the punk scene in Washington DC in the 80s. You really need to know about the bands that rocked my birthplace.
- A Film about Jimi Hendrix is exactly what it sounds like. Pretty poorly named if you ask me.
- The Kids Are Alright is a documentary/concert movie about The Who.
- Count Me In a documentary about famous drummers.
Excellent choices!! I love Fishbone, and somehow missed this documentary, so I will have to check it out. I loved Count Me in, and Kids Are Alright is an all time fav. 🙂 Did you ever watch Get Back? Beatles documentary about the making of Let It Be. Really good – very long (we may have talked about this, hmmmm, don’t remember – it came out two years ago…). Thanks for sharing these!!
Definitely going to check these out ! Thanks for the recommendations !
Best wishes from England ! 🤗
Dude! I am a big fan of Bad Brains. Banned in DC is the best punk album IMO, and their rasta music is also very good. I definitely want to recommend the documentary film American Hardcore, that movie is nuts! It’s maybe a bit biased because it is from the perspective of the musicians, but it’s so much fun. Just wait until you get to the scene with the grenade and the garage door, lol! Keep that PMA bro!
You write really interesting stories! I am so impressed!
Greetings my boy I hope you are well
