Episode 1976 - The Birth Year of Alt-Rock - Part 1
1976 wasn't just another year in music. It marked the birth of punk rock and launched alternative culture as we know it. From the gritty stages of CBGB to the first records by the Ramones, Blondie, Patti Smith, and Talking Heads, we trace how a handful of outsiders sparked a movement that would eventually become alt-rock. It's the story of rebellion, creativity, and a year that changed the sound of modern music.
