All great artists, I already knew many of them, some others not: thanks for pointing them out. I would like to add one who in my opinion is a giant of the liveshow: Beardyman. He is a virtuoso of beatboxing, a great electronic musician and a very funny stand up comedian: irresistible!

I think this thread might be causing issues on mobile—probably due to too many embedded YouTube videos. For the definitive documentary list, I’ve shared my picks as plain links, which should help with performance. If people are having trouble, I’ll repost the list as plain text instead of links.
