The Police: Certifiable (2008)
Music
If you were born anytime after the mid-'80s, you may not realize just how massive the Police really were. In the late '70s and early '80s, this trio was not just big, or even huge, but monolithic. They ruled the airwaves, they ruled the sales charts, and they ruled this newfangled thing called MTV. Made up of drummer Stewart Copeland, guitarist Andy Sumner, and vocal/guitarist (and heartthrob) Sting, you couldn't turn your eyes or ears anywhere without bumping into their unique blend of rock, pop, and light reggae. Even more unusual for such a commercially popular outfit, they were just as adored critically — the rare band that no one seemed to dislike. (Heck, even my mom owned their "Synchronicity" album!) The Police were indeed the biggest band in the universe, bar none.
Starring: Stewart Copeland, Sting, Andy Summers

Peter Gabriel – Classic Albums: So (2012)
Documentary | Music
The latest addition to the acclaimed & award winning Classic Albums series tells the story behind the making of Peter Gabriel's 1986 album So. It was Gabriel's fifth solo album and the first one to have a title (the others all having just been called Peter Gabriel ). The album spawned a number of hit singles on both sides of the Atlantic including Sledgehammer, Big Time, Don't Give Up (a duet with Kate Bush) and In Your Eyes which drove So to multi-platinum sales, the No.1 spot in the UK and No.2 in the US. So was very much an album of the MTV generation and the distinctive videos for tracks like Sledgehammer, Red Rain, Big Time and Don't Give Up were key factors in the album's success. The program features contributions from many of those involved in the making of the album and the videos including Peter Gabriel himself, co-producer Daniel Lanois, engineer Kevin Killen and musicians Jerry Marotta, Laurie Anderson, Tony Levin and Manu Katché amongst many.
