CBGB, Punk Rock, and a Legacy of Rebellion - The History of Rock Music (Part 7)
Rock is always in a cycle of rebirth — commoditization and then rebellion. Punk was the ultimate expression of that. In this episode, we chart the movement’s journey, beginning with the Velvet Underground’s avant-garde provocations and The Ramones, Blondie, Patti Smith, and The Dictators at CBGB.Then let’s discuss the seismic eruptions of the Sex Pistols and The Clash, and then the reinvention of sound by bands like Talking Heads, and Joy Division.(Check out the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth podcast episode and/or part one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten,eleven, and twelfth of the accompanying Substack posts, with music examples!)For 30% off your first year with DistroKid to share your music with the world click DistroKid.com/vip/lovemusicmoreWant to hear my music?
