11:06 1977 - The Year Punk Broke
Few years in music history have seen more dramatic changes in attitude and sound than 1977. 1977’s punk explosion energised young musicians, scandalized their parents, and changed the music industry forever. In 1977, punk rock went from an underground fringe movement to a full-blown mass culture phenomenon.
This programme explores punk’s development in both New York and London, touching on landmark bands and albums along the way. Punk journalist Ira Robbins takes listeners through New York’s CBGB’s, where bands like Television, The Ramones, and The Talking Heads formed punk’s first organized scene.
Later music writer Jon Savage remembers London’s “punk explosion” and the historic single that got the Sex Pistols banned across the British media. Finally, Jim and Greg share some of their favorite tracks from 1977 by bands including Wire, The Adverts, and The Voidoids. (Sound Opinions)
