is this repeated would love to see this. and the stuff about motley crue!!! :D
It's on again tonight at half eleven on BBC1, maybe there's regional variations in the time, but I've seen 2 of the previous 3 on the Sunday night so it'll defo be on sometime.
the heavy metal one was good, but i was expecting a nod to Def leppard,
and i thought there was a glaring omission to Thin Lizzy and Wishbone Ash, surely if you are talking about the origins of metal they deserve a mention, what with double guitars and all that
overall the show looks like a rushed series, without much indepth thinking behind it, still its better than "grease", or that other singing/dancing rubbish on the box
Spot on, it strikes me as a hugely wasted opportunityQuote:

I wouldnt go as far as to say "rushed", i would more take the view it could have been a 2 hour/2.5 hour show. i think they tried to get an awful lot in in the hour, which didnt do it justice. even thought there mimght have been a mention on zztop....certainly should have been something on thin lizzy alright though as they were hetfields and cliff burtons main influence along with bob seger. The show certainly didnt cover enough areas.
the double guitar thing, and the power agression stuff they were talking about really hit home with me. THe whole idea of raw passion coming out in teh riffs that get you going was very apt. Personally that show will probably have been the best one for me out of the 7, perhaps next week too.
No problem.
thanks stann....is that what you were looking for? :D
I only saw the punk and metal episodes..thought both were pretty disappointing.
This week: College Rock/Grunge.
I enjoyed this episode. It covered the subject as good as could be expected - Cobain was always going to take over the program.
It made me dig out Nevermind on Sunday for the first time in about four years, so it must have worked.
It also reminded me how good Green is.
Thought the Pixies deserved more of a mention.
Although the focus was on REM and Nirvana, I thought they got good coverage.
Grohl seemed embarrassed still.

Good show overall.
Haven't watched it in a few weeks now. Gave up on it after the Metal show.
Am I correct in thinking all that's left is a homage to the genius that is that human lollipop sign from Babyshambles?
Smiths/Blur/Oasis and a mention of coldplay at the end.
REMs first five albums are all much better than Green. They were pretty much untouchable as the best band on the planet for that period. Fables of the Reconstruction is my own favourite.Quote:

I've found the progression and selection of certain bands over others very subjective. Not bad though.
BBCs Rock Family Trees was a better series I think.
I love Green. Kind o fthe cross-over album I suppose, but yes, there's great stuff in everything up to and including Green.
For an hour long program, and the format it takes, artists are always going to be left out. Both Frank Black and Kim Deal were interviewed, along with others talking about them and their sound. I think they got their fair share, considering.
Rock Family Trees was better alright.
Saw some of the episode which included the likes of U2 & Queen. Good show.
yeah that was quality tv, loved the one they did on Black SabbathQuote:

Watched the start of the Indie show last night, and after hearing about how Morrissey was God for 20 minutes (I know he is, but still) I got a bit bored listening to the frontman of Franz Ferdinand go on and on, and Pete Dpherty throwing his random musings in so I turned it off. From I've seen of this show it seems like a real waste of a good idea
