Queen: Days of Our Lives
8.1
En 1971, 4 étudiants se regroupent pour former un groupe de rock. Depuis lors, ce groupe appelé Queen a publié 26 albums et vendu plus de 300 millions de disques dans le monde entier. La popularité de Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor et John Deacon est plus forte que jamais depuis 40 ans. Mais cela n'a pas été "un lit de roses". "Pas une croisière de plaisance". Dans ce film, pour la première fois, c'est le groupe qui raconte son histoire. Mettant en vedette de toutes nouvelles interviews du groupe et des images d'archives inédites (y compris leur première performance télévisée récemment découverte), il s'agit d'une histoire fascinante racontée avec intelligence, esprit, beaucoup d'humour et une honnêteté douloureuse.

The Nation's Favourite Bee Gees Song
6
The rundown of Britain’s favourite 20 Bee Gee compositions forms a very serviceable biography, including the group’s return from Australia, their decline in the early 70s, and their wonderfully unlikely reinvention as a three-headed disco monster. Discussing what makes each song great are Cliff Richard, Tim Rice, a bafflingly incongruous but still welcome Dave Grohl, Neil Sedaka, and Barry and Robin Gibb. Can you guess what number one is? Elton John sorely wishes he’d written it...

The Old Grey Whistle Test
7.5
The Old Grey Whistle Test is an influential BBC2 television music show that ran from 1971 to 1987. It took over the BBC2 late night slot from "Disco Two", which had been running since January 1970, while continuing to feature non-chart music. It was devised by BBC producer Rowan Ayers. According to presenter Bob Harris, the programme derived its name from a Tin Pan Alley phrase from years before. When they got the first pressing of a record they would play it to people they called the old greys—doormen in grey suits. The songs they could remember and whistle, having heard it just once or twice, had passed the old grey whistle test.
