Pop music is considered to be a reflection of changing youth culture and politics. Revealing trends, attitudes and social awareness it is a barometer of the times. From Elvis to Beatlemania, punk to hip hop and all points in between, it releases our emotions and takes us to another conscience state.
When radio entered in to our lives in the early 19th century, it changed everything. Broadcasting the sounds of the era to the masses, we could all access and share the tales of how music changed us. Here are the stories of how it was made, consumed and adored. Take a trip and listen/download the history of music as told by the most influential artist of all time with Pete Mitchell.
