I am a sucker for a rockumentary. In fact, my idea of good comfort TV is a rockumentary or a programme about art or an artist. I am fascinated by other people's creative process. I find it really inspiring. I don't even have to like the band - a good rockumentary is compulsive viewing whether you like the music or not. Here are my top 20 rockumentaries - in no particular order. I would highly recommend all of these. (If you have a rockumentary you highly recommend do comment below.)
