Define "rock" any way you want. If you think it's rock, it's rock.
There's a lot on YouTube, and today I checked out the one by the 70s band Kansas. I only knew a couple of songs, definitely not a fan, liked the overplayed "Dust In The Wind" for a while, but checked it out anyway and liked it. I've seen better and will think of more, but sometimes it's the story of how a band forms, possibly living together, achieving a goal, knowing they did it, and seeing the stories, interviews.
And hopefully we can talk about them. Recommendations, or something uploaded by someone from before. New or old documentaries.
And for those who don't even listen to rock, you still might enjoy the movie. Maybe it was the time, the infancy of the music business after WWII, sometimes the music reflecting an era, location, position, way of life, etc..

I highly recommend this one. A friend of mine from California stayed with me for a week, and despite being 70 years old, had no idea THIS was Chicago. He gave the usual, "I thought it was that band that did 'The Karate Kid' song"
Anyway, Terry Kath was a great guitarist/singer. Reading his interviews, a very principled man. When they did the Beachago tour (Beach Boys opening for Chicago in the mid-70s) he said it wasn't much fun. Too long, "and The Beach Boys did their teenybopper ****" and telling magazines he didn't want to be a human jukebox, and of course there's some fans who believe it was a suicide made to look like an accident so his daughter could get the insurance money. I'm not sure. But I'd also check out "More Than Ever", but Peter Cetera didn't participate in that, so it is incomplete, and at least he participated in this (funded it, too, Terry's daughter is friends with his daughters).. It's the ONLY thing he has done since he left 40 years ago.
