Looks like it could be an intresting show, but may not watch them all, the Art rock one may be getting a miss and the British indie rock will defiently be getting a big miss rather shove my head in a giant cow pat than listen to Oasis and their ilk!
Think the most appealing to me is gonna be the Stadium Rock one, as long as they cover a variety of abnds and don't stick to Queen and U2 and as little about Guns & Poop as Possible!
THanks for the heads up Liz, and it starts nicely 10 mins after steves show so i've got time to make a cup of tea....oer I mean crack open a beer ofcourse! and see a man about a dog!

I shall give them all a chance as I enjoyed the first one and am looking forward to the art-rock and heavy metal episodes in particular.  It was a good documentary and I found it interesting to see some of the history and how the various bands were influenced by others. It was very sad to see how Hendrix burnt out in the end. Thanks for reminding us all that it was on, nearly missed it!  |

It was Intresting and entertaining, but didn't really tell us anything we don't already know, i suppose getting everything into an hour its hard to mention everything or even mention a lot of bands who were vital parts of the scene, when on about thrash Metallica were the only band mentioned for example.
Still worth a watch though....
