Well, I wondered if I should have put this in ear-candy... But I am afraid not everyone would find this in time.
This thread is to point you guys out that BBC has a really cool miniserie on the birth of rock. It was really interesting and I usually hate television!
Check out the site @ http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/sevenages/.
It's every saturday evening but I saw the rerun on Sunday evening.
The first episode was mainly about Jimi Hendrix. After watching it, I started to download a lot of the albums of the bands that I heard off but didn't quiet really knew (the Yardbirds, John Mayall's Blues Breakers).
Featured artists are:
1. Jimi Hendrix
2. John Mayall's Blues Breakers
3. Cream
4. The Beatles
5. The Rolling Stones
6. The Yardbirds
7. The Who
8. Bob Dylan
9. Pink Floyd
10. Genesis
11. Roxy Music
12. Bowie
13. Velvet Underground
14. The Sex Pistols
15. The Ramones
16. Radiohead
17. Clash
18. The Buzzcocks
19. Talking Heads
20. The Slits
21. Television
22. Patti Smith
23. John Cale
24. The Damned
25. New York Dolls
26. Black Sabbath
27. Deep Purple
28. Metallica
29. Iron Maiden
30. Judas Priest
31. The Strokes
32. Ozzy Osbourne
33. Mötley Crüe
34. Bruce Springsteen
35. Queen
36. U2
37. Dire Straits
38. Police
39. Kiss
40. Led Zeppelin
41. Nirvana
42. Black Flag
43. R.E.M.
44. The Pixies
45. Mudhoney
46. Hüsker Dü
47. The White Stripes
48. The Replacements
49. The Smiths
50. Blur
51. The Stone Roses
52. Oasis
53. The Libertines
54. Suede
55. Arctic Monkeys
56. Franz Ferdinand
57. Coldplay
More or less in that order. So you better watch it and learn something cool for a change.
I highlighted my top 10 (+1 cuz mantra told me the arctic monkeys rawk
), which is Darned fucking ******cock hard!
Highlight yours if you want.
Edit: I just realised that in that list they kinda forgot Rage against the machine and Korn, bands that imo contributed to todays rockscene.
Maybe they forgot other bands? Still this doesn't mean the show is bad
