| Summary |
*Coarse Language*In the 1980s, seminal British indie group The Smiths were cult stars for British teenagers seeking the sound of electric guitars in an era awash with synthesised pop, but the generation they inspired would not be content with underground success, and in the form of Oasis, brought UK indie rock crashing into the mainstream. In the 21st Century a new generation of British bands, such as The Libertines and Franz Ferdinand, Blur and Arctic Monkeys would reclaim the music for outsiders everywhere. Seven Ages Of Rock explores the music that has been the soundtrack of popular culture and defined each generation since the '60s, charting the story of rock music from the suburb to the stadium, from the crackly 45 to the MP3 download.The series explores key eras in rock. From the UK electric blues boom, via the psychedelic rock of the late 60s; from the 70s punk explosion and on to the rise of grunge and indie rock in the 80s and beyond, this series tells the story of the music itself - with contributions from some of the biggest names in rock.PRODUCTION DETAILS:A BBC/VH1 Classic co-production. Executive Producer: Michael Poole; Series Producer: William Naylor |
