I was one of those who bought it, listened to the first song and forgot about it all. In fact if they weren't mentioned on this thread, I would have totally erased their existence from my memory. |

the alternative episode was a huge let down but when they first mentioned r.e.m. i had a feeling it was going to be. this series is poor and im afraid the bbc has dropped the ball on this one! their dancing in the streets series from 1996/7 was ten times better.....
more 4 showed don letts punk:attitude last nite, go out and buy that on dvd, it is worth every penny, rollins (of whom i am not a lover of at all) is dead funny in it.......... |

It was a repeat. Next episode will be all about Oasis and Blur and The Libertines.

The whole series has been a big disappointment so far. The bands that they've chosen to give overwhelming air-time to has definitely been, on occasions, bizarre. Which doesn't mean to say that I haven't thoroughly enjoyed watching each episode.
Watching Rollins on the Alt America one, I have to say that I'm starting to come around to his personality in a way that I never thought possible. Now I find myself laughing WITH him, rather than just AT him - as was once the case. |

There was about a two second clip from Year Punk Broke of Thurston jamming his guitar around the stage during I Love Her All The Time in a montage of '90s' 'alternative' bands...

Episode 6/7 is going to be repeated tomorrow on BBC FOUR
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b007r4t0 The rock marathon continues with the story of the contrasting fates of two of America's biggest, most authentic bands: Nirvana and REM and the hidden links between them that almost saved the life of troubled Nirvana singer Kurt Cobain. In 1991, Nirvana's Nevermind album launched the 'grunge' explosion that put the Seattle music scene on the map and gave a voice to the alienated youth pushed to one side by the Reagan revolution. But Cobain was a reluctant idol who struggled to cope with his new status and his band's growing mainstream appeal. Nirvana had their roots in the underground and college music scene pioneered by bands like REM and Pixies and this programme tells how REM also ended up gravitating towards Seattle, where a friendship developed between lead singer Michael Stipe and Cobain. In the end it was not enough to save Cobain, who killed himself in 1994, but his triumph and tragedy continues to cast a powerful shadow over the whole of rock. |
