The Real 1970s With Bob Harris

20101227

In 1970, the smoking remnants fom the 60s psychedelic era lingered on, and despite the deaths of Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and the breakup of the Beatles, they were in for more of the same thing, man. But within a few years Progressive and Glam Rock were all the rage, alongside the Soft Rock of Laurel Canyon and Disco stateside. Then Punk exploded on both sides of the Atlantic. By 1979, on the cusp of a new decade, we were in a New Wave, Post Punk world. How did that happen?

Veteran broadcaster, Bob Harris, who began his career behind the mic in 1970, charts the evolution of popular music, starting at year zero (1970) and explores how it first started to really fracture into different genres - Prog Rock, Soft Rock, Glam Rock, Punk Rock, Ska, Reggae, Post Punk and New Wave.

Bob Harris charts how the music of the 70s evolved from pyschedelic hippies to post-punks.

The Real 1980s With Stuart Maconie

20101228

In 1980, the music was Post Punk, about to ride a New Wave. By 1989, the Stone Roses and Happy Monday were about to take 'Madchester', and music along with it, into an new decade. How did we get there?

Child of the 80s, Stuart Maconie looks at how music evoloved from New Wave, to New Romantic, to Electronica, to Indie all within the shadow of massive pop stars like Michael Jackson, Madonna, and U2. He'll look at how Ian Curtis' death forced post punkers Joy Division to morph into New Order and usher in a Synth lead Electronica revolution. He'll look also how the musical giants of the previous generation, the Beatles, Stones, Kinks, Bowie, and the Who hit their creative nadirs in the 80s, with some regaining a degree of form by the end of the decade.
