Classic Rock series on BBC 4

mike65

Okay its not an actual Classic Rock series rather its The Golden Age of the Album so will have authentic classic material Its fronted by Danny Baker, so double plus good for me (three one hour parts), can't find the airing date yet but we'll assume its a Friday night series so Feb 1st or Feb 8th

And the great thing about bbc4 is if you miss it the first time you'll be able to catch the replay.

That was pretty good, listening to Supertramp now on spotify. Nice to see Zappa getting a couple of mentions.

It was nearly like eavesdropping on four people in a pub snug! Roll on tomorrow.

Ah Mike, you got to put up these reminders earlier, forgot all about this. Must tune in tonight.

It was strange watching Clarkson struggling to get a word in.

Part two was about pop and was arguably better, thoroughly enjoyed that. Final part tomorrow.

Pink Floyd: Wish you were here - documentary on the making of the album is on tonight on BBC4, looking forward to this. If it's half as good as Classic Albums: Dark side of the moon then it will be well worth watching.

Its everybit as good as the DSotM documnetary IMO ....

Is it just me, or does David Glimour come across as being a bit condescending and unlikeable? By the same token, Roger Waters comes across like a bono on steroids-totally opinionated and rather fond of the sound of his own voice-Nick Mason comes across as a decent affable sort of bloke though..

Watched it all, excellent documentary. Hadn't seen the picture of Syd in the studio before, shocking alright.

Yes it was. I liked the section on the album cover design. Nick Mason's book inside out is good for those sort of details:
