I'm a very big fan of Martin Scorsese, but was very disappointed by this. I thought it was almost laughably bad. Didn't enjoy the pairing of music.
I also found the fictional stories about real musicians pretty ridiculous. I literally couldn't believe the cringe-worthy portrayal of Robert plant. One of the least commercial bands of all times (never released a single, didn't even give their first four albums titles, etc) because they believed that good music would speak for itself. To be reduced to scenes of Robert Plant almost bartering with stale characters (didn't like the Boston accent) for an additional 10%.
Either do fiction or don't. Don't do something in-between.
