Quick shoutout to the BBC Network for making so many good music documentaries. I can't imagine ABC, NBC, CBS, or even the mighty FOX network itself have made any documentaries about the same era of American music that are this consistently good. I don't even think PBS has (but if someone can correct me with some YouTube links please do).

Krautrock:



Synth Britannia:



Prog Rock Britannia:



Jungle:



Here's a bonus embed of part 2 of the Jungle doc, just so you can go to the 2:43 mark and see some serious studio business by an MC whose identity I can't quite figure out other than "Rodney":



Not to mention other awesome shows like Julian Cope's Modern Antiquarian...



and of course...

My co-worker told me there's a good PBS documentary on STAX... and wasn't that P-Funk documentary PBS? That one was excellent.

Oh yeah, the P-Funk doc was great... I seem to have found part one of the Stax one at least, thanks for the tip:
