The Story of Pop: The Thin White Duke and the White Noise

BBC Radio 1
on BBC Radio 1 England

A definitive history, presented by Alan Freeman.

Synth-rock began with bands like Kraftwerk and Tangerine Dream, but it was
David Bowie 's seminal mid-70s period that made the genre acceptable as mainstream pop. Bowie was also a huge influence on the emerging new romantics.
With contributions from Florian Schneider, David Bowie, Brian Eno, Tony Visconti and Carlos Alomar.
