Any good documentaries on the music from the grunge era? More general ones? I’ve seen all the Nirvana ones but surely there must be a good one about the entire Seattle (and beyond) scene?

There was an episode when the Foos did an album there. That’s quite good.

There’s a big segment in Metal. Which was a good doc on the evolution of the genre.

The film “Singles” is a half decent watch, has cameos from lots of the great bands of that era.

Soundtrack is fantastic too.

PJ20 tbe Pearl Jam film actually covers quite a bit of the whole scene. It’s a great documentary.

“1991: The year punk broke” is worth a watch;

I’ve seen The Year Punk Broke and I remember seeing Singles in the cinema when it came out!

Singles
Sound City (tenuous but still worth watching)
Hit So Hard
The Punk Singer

Also: Grunge Is Dead: The Oral History of Seattle Rock Music (book)

I’m not really a fan but Soundgarden were the first band I saw live. I don’t know what to say, I hope his family get through it all and he is at peace.
