To celebrate the upcoming release of the incredible music documentary 'Searching for Sugarman' (out July 26), we've decided to put together a list of the 25 best music documentaries.

There seems to be a little bit of an influx of rock docs at the moment, LCD Soundsystem's 'Shut Up and Play the Hits being just one of them, so what better time to do it?

We've tried to keep it as recent as possible to make sure we're not telling you what you already know, but there's some undeniable classics thrown in for good measure.
