English Summary:

This ten part series was originally broadcast on PBS in 1995. What it does, in a nutshell, is give a decent (though not super-detailed) overview of rock and roll as a genre, as well as all the sub genres that exist within that giant umbrella of music. Obviously this is far too massive a subject to approach with the idea of covering everything. Luckily, The History Of Rock N Roll does do a pretty good job of giving a nice, general history lesson on the music that has, since its inception, become a part of our everyday lives. It does this with a great selection of live performance clips, interviews, and archival footage that is set against some informative and interesting narration that makes for a well rounded and well executed package.

Disc Five:

Punk - OK, as interesting as this was and as nice to revisit a lot of classic punk footage (albeit in snippets and not full performances, just like the rest of the series), how they could do a documentary on the history of punk rock and not even mention The Damned in passing is beyond me. That quibble aside, there's plenty of Sex Pistols, The Clash, The Ramones, and Iggy on hand to keep things interesting. What Bruce Springsteen and Sting have to do with punk rock is a little confusing (the correct answer? Nothing!) so I was perplexed to see them here as interviewees, but hey, we can't all be perfect.

Up From The Underground - This last disc takes a look at the rise of MTV and the music video as a new medium, and the simultaneous rise of hip hop and how the two would eventually intertwine, and how 'alternative' music would spawn into arena rock events such as the Lollapalooza tour. Clips and interviews with Devo, Run DMC, N.W.A., R.E.M., Public Enemy and Ice-T are highlights, and there is also footage from the likes of Madonna and Michael Jackson are included as well.

Hungarian Summary:

Megjelent a Velvet Underground bohém bandája. feltűnt a sokkoló Iggy Pop és a New York Dolls klubban léptek fel, innen indult útjára a Ramones. Richard Hell a Talking Heads és Patti Smith is. Angliában váratlanul ívelt fel, majd hanyatlott le a korszak. Egyik leghíresebb képviselője. a Clash zenekar egy korai felvételét láthatjuk.

Az MTV beindulásával a 80-as években újabb lendületet vett a rock. Ezután a képernyőn íródik a zenetörténet: az első rap-klipekben látható Kurtis Blow és Grandmaster Flash. Michael Jackson Billie Jean videója minden eddiginél színesebb látványvilágával kápráztatja el a nézőket. A Run-D.M.C. forradalmasítja a rapet, betiltják Madonna fülledt Jutsify My Love- klipjét. és megjelenik a színen a Public Enemy és a N.W.A. is. akiket a hard-core rap első képviselői között tartanak számon. A Devo és a Eurythmics tagjai felfedik az áttörést jelentő videoklipjeik titkát.
