The Year That Changed Nothing
14 January 2023
I really liked the first episode and was expecting more. There is no cohesive narrative structure to this mess of a series. I gave up after 4 episodes.

Never got into Bowie, Bolan, Carole King, glamrock... Weak, over-calculated wannabe poets with no heart or talent. I just dont like the sound of their recordings nor their melodies/lyrics. Maybe its a fidelity thing. Some songs are okay at best.

Lennon is a genius. Imagine is a masterpiece album. Marvin Gaye is an incredible singer. Whats going on is another masterpiece.

Harrison was a hack with some good moments.

I am a big floyd and zep fan.

Just dont waste your time with this political garbage. Musicians dont understand anything about that stuff.

We just wanna have a good time.

Stop killing each other.

Edit: ok was in a bad mood when wrote the above. Decided to plod on with it. Finished the second half and actually enjoyed it. Bumped up rating from one to seven. But still no zeppelin mentioned in the whole series? Their biggest album and masterpiece was released november 1971. I'm guessing the producers of the show didnt get rights from zep.
