5. Metallica: Some Kind of Monster



That should be replaced with "Cliff em' All"

[Barkless Dog]

The Who, Isle of Wight should be there

[BigLoopDuke]

Leave it to RS to claim that they've got THE list.

Where's We Jam Econo?

[peaveyuser]

Rolling Stone has to learn Music taste is debatable and not something you can really say which one is better than the other, it's all personal preference.

[Deacon_Blues]

Lists like that are just depressing... Many big names are missing and there's way too few music genres represented. JMHO.

[McHack]

Agreed, list creators should be flogged.

That said, one of the better music video's I've seen in a long time is Green Day's Bullet In A Bible.

[rfclef]

I'd either put Rush in Rio or R30 in there... Probably Rio...

[Alvaro Martín Gómez A.]

Aside from Rush DVDs, Bela Fleck and The Flecktones Live at The Quick is always in my list. Brian Setzer Orchestra Live in Japan is another great one.

+1

...and where the hell is This is Spinal Tap???

[Vandelay]

I would have added "Standing In The Shadows of Motown", the documentary about the Funk Brothers. It's not a perfect movie, but it's one that everyone should see anyway.

I also would have added Bob Dylan's "Don't Look Back", the documentary about his 1965 tour of England. Dylan comes across like either the smartest person in the world and/or the most arrogant, but either way he's extremely interesting.

[Jared Lash]

How does Rattle & Hum make that list? Unless you hate U2 and want to see them at their worst I mean. That documentary/album is widely regarded as the low point in U2's career. It took the radical change of Achtung Baby for them to rebound from it.

But credit where credit is due. "I Am Trying To Break Your Heart" (#11 on their list) is a fantastic documentary IMO. It doesn't hurt that I love Wilco.

[StanFan]

I don't know about that list, but I'd definitely have the Metallica Seattle performance from Live S*** and the 1976 Genesis concert (Trick of the Tail CD/DVD reissue) on my list.

The Last Waltz rocks. I think Standing in the Shadows of Motown should have made it as well.
