Two programs on this disc. Program 9: Punk. Program 10: Up From The Underground Scenes are indexed by artist and/or subject
Program 9: PUNK. In this program we look at the genre's roots in the bohemianism of the Velvet Underground, the deliberate ugliness of Iggy Pop and the campy amateurism of the New York Dolls. The Sex pistols released "God Save The Queen during Queen Elizabeth's Silver Jubilee in 1977, cursed on television, egged crowds on to acts of violence and finally flamed out on a harrowing American tour. Short lived thought the punk movement was, it opened rock up to a new wave of rock artists, Elvis Costello to Nirvana. Program 10: UP FROM THE UNDERGROUND - shows how rock reinvented itself in the 1980's with more irony, flash, shock and sex appeal than ever. MTV became rock's first global network and created a powerful new corporate medium. At the same time inner-city youth improvised a controversial medium of their own in the form of rap. Early clips show pioneer rap acts Kurtis Blow and Grandmaster Flash. Michael Jackson's video for "Billie Jean" broke the networks color barrier. Madonna' steamy clip for Justify My Love was banned by MTV. We come full circle with so-called "alternative rock. See scene index for artists.
