Hey, it's Alan, and I just wanted to let you know that you can now listen to the ongoing

history of new music early and ad-free on Amazon music, included with Prime.

I think just about anyone with a passing knowledge of rock is aware of its origins back in

the late 40s and early 50s, when blues, rhythm and blues, western, country, folk, and

hillbilly traditions began to mix and match,

eventually coalescing into what became known as rock and roll. If you're an alt rock fan,

you've heard the story of how this all began with the garage bands of the late 60s and the

punk rock explosion of the mid-1970s. The birth of modern electronic music? Well, that is a rich and complicated origin story that stretches back to the 40s before the

technology was cheap enough for young musicians to give it a go in the 70s.

Skye and reggae, understanding those sounds in their enduring appeal requires a deep dive

into Jamaican culture and politics.

Once we get into the 1980s, things really begin to

separate and segment and stratify. Goth, industrial, punk, funk, hardcore, dream pop,

all the various flavors of metal. The last time I checked into Spotify's classification system,

the platform has sorted music into more than 2,500 different genres, and the number

keeps growing. This program has looked at many of these origin stories, and it's time that we

did another one. If you've ever enjoyed a pint in a traditional pub, you're going to love this.

It's the history of Celtic rock.
