I have only read a handful of music books so can be of little use for 1-3 - none of them really stand out as OMG LIFE CHANGING.

Oooo actually one music book I ♥ long time is Jane Bussman's Once In A Lifetime: The Crazy Days Of Acid House which is GREBT as an insight for non-UK dudes as to what the hell was going on here 1987-1993/UK dudes who can't remember what was going on. It manages to be non-London-centric as well which is a plus.

4: GREAT POP THINGS! Although this is now a book so not sure if it counts.

5: Hahaha Poptimists 2006-2008 :)

6: That Prog programme on BBC4 a few months ago was awesome. Dudes just staring into space anxiously reminiscing about how stressful the whole business was.
