Drazil Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 It's a lot higher than that in my world. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Alan Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 i'd love to see this list. i assume Stop Making Sense is in the top 3. edit: nevermind, here's the list. http://www.rollingstone.com/photos/gallery...vds_of_all_time that's some BS Quote Link to post Share on other sites
So Long Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 it's my fav. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chisoxjtrain Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 surprising that heart of gold (neil young), once (glen hansard and marketa irglova), and okonokos (my morning jacket) didnt make the list Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ction Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 I'm glad Some Kind of Monster was included in this list. Although I know it wasn't intentional, that movie is hilarious. There aren't many good excuses for missing your kid's first birthday, but flying to Russia to shoot a bear that just woke up out of hibernation is probably the best. "Squillions and squillions of dollars, and squillions and squillions of people." Dave Mustaine and Lars Ulrich crying...it really doesn't get much better. Group lyric writing sessions producing gems like "My lifestyle determines my death style." Yeah, that should be #1. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MattZ Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 I'd take Don't Look Back over No Direction Home in a heartbeat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gogo Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 surprising that... once (glen hansard and marketa irglova)... didnt make the listWait until next year. It's not a DVD yet, is it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 I'd say they have films and documentaries mixed together there - I would not place Purple Rain, for instance, in the same category as Woodstock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Basil II Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 That new Minutemen doc is really good.......damn had D. Boon could be here....... -Robert. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gobias Industries Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Rattle and Hum should be ranked higher. The gospel choir on I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For alone is worth the watch. I'm glad Wilco was way up there, I didn't really expect that (although, if Fricke was in the shenanigans on the listing, I wouldn't be so surprised). I was also disappointed that Help! wasn't even on there. That was as good as it got - if you count movies, as they apparently did. I think All You Need Is Cash, then, would have been a solid inclusion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FaintingGoat Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Pretty cool list. I would have liked to have seen some other personal favorites included, such as Quadrophenia, Concert for George, Queen's Tribute to Freddie Mercury, Loud Quiet Loud, We Jam Econo (previously mentioned), and, of course, This is Spinal Tap.

chisoxjtrain Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Wait until next year. It's not a DVD yet, is it? you make a good point Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobbob1313 Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 I like the Sunken Treasure, but IATTBYH is better. I need to buy that one. It's really good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kyjygyfyf Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 definitely surprised don't look back wasn't on there.... heart of gold is quite beautiful as well pink floyd live at pompeii is way underrated too... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GtrPlyr Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 I'd take Don't Look Back over No Direction Home in a heartbeat.Me too. Talk about glaring omissions. They should be ashamed, especially when lesser films like "Hype!" are there instead. I probably would've put Chuck Berry Hail! Hail! Rock 'n' Roll and Cocksucker Blues--even if it is only available as a bootleg DVD--on that list too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Kinsley Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Rattle and Hum should be ranked higher. The gospel choir on I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For alone is worth the watch. Really? Seeing that movie put me off U2 for about 5 years. I think I OD'd on them a bit back then. Some Kind of Monster? ction's review confirms my suspicions about just how badly it would suck. Maybe it was OK, but #5? Other than that I don't have any major complaints, with the exception of the aforementioned Don't Look Back omission. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 I'd say they have films and documentaries mixed together there - I would not place Purple Rain, for instance, in the same category as Woodstock.Agreed. When I first read some of this and didn't look at the list, I was about to write how Once is not a music documentary, but considering Purple Rain is on I guess fiction has nothing to do with not making the list, so this is just another bogus list. Rattle and Hum put me to sleep. I found Hail Hail Rock and Roll just as boring. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Rattle and Hum Hail Hail Rock and Roll I rather like those two - especially R&H - I think it may be my favorite cinematography of all the rock docs I have seen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gobias Industries Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 I guess Rattle and Hum was slightly boring but the great performances more than make up for it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 I saw it at the theater - twice in the same week. I then bought the VHS tape for 10 dollars! at a department chain that no longer exists. I think it's great. I don't care for the gospel part though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 I guess I need to re-see the movie, since I saw I can't remember that much about it except for Bono stupidly spray painting something. I like the music from the album, but not sure why the movie bored me. Hail Hail should be great, but in fact Chuck Berry is not a really nice person and he comes across as kind of a jerk; I know I tried watching it on tape and never even got to most of the performance footage. I did enjoy somewhat hearing about his early years in St. Louis, but even that was marred by his grating personality. The Devil and Daniel Johnston just showed up from Netflix today and Deep Blue is an interesting movie also marred by Dave Steward and some other stupid white guy shit in it. Otherwise it is a must see. The Kids Are Alright is one of the best music documentaries ever....period. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
