168: The Evolution of

Jeff takes on the task of telling the story of how rock was born, in the first of a four-part on the evolution of "classic rock", beginning with "The Fifties" (and well before).

Truth be told, radio helped, through its too-tight playlists, all but ruin the format, turned genre, "Classic Rock". And that's where the former iteration of Records & Rockstars came in. It was 2001 we created "The Legends of Classic Rock", designed to go deeper musically, and tell the stories behind the music. 22 years later, the series continues, with records we came to love and the stories around the artists who made 'em.
