Music Week - The Sound of 6 Music...1969

Logo for Music Week - The Sound of 6 Music...1969

As we look back over 2009 in music, we compare it to 1969 and find a number of parallels between the two pivotal years. In '69 The Stooges set the Punk Rock ball rolling, the Jackson 5 and Led Zeppelin release debuts, and Dave Grohl is born. In '09 Iggy Pop appears in a distinctly un-punk insurance advert, Michael Jackson's death dominates the news arena, and Grohl and Zep bassist John Paul Jones team up to create the supergroup of the decade. We look back over both years and explore these connections - and more. With 6 Music's music journalist supremos Julie Cullen and Matt Everitt.
