I read one by Keith Richards a while back. He contradicts himself several times regarding memories of certain things and when he was/wasn't using certain substances but overall it was interesting hearing how the Stones initially formed and also how they came up with a few distinctive sounds.
Johnny Cash wrote one in the 90's that was also good. He talked about his addictions over the years, left out all of his infidelity issues, but the best part was just his coming up in the music business, who he worked with, how they interacted and the associated stories. His son wrote a memoir about his mother and it told a little bit of a different story but it was nice to compare the two versions. Many events lined up, but hearing the different dynamic of father/son telling the same story. I need to see if Roseanne Cash has written her side, that would likely add an even more interesting dynamic.
Merle Haggard had a good read (are you starting to see the music theme here?) and he talks about how he barely remembered the 80's because he was doing so much cocaine.
Some of Erik Larson's books (Devil in the White City, Dead Wake, Thunderstruck, etc) are good because he provides a good historical background of major events while also providing a narrative of some concurrent events.
