28:32
Some bands could be from anywhere. You can’t hear their home in the bassline, feel the streets and skies in the guitars. But Joy Division and Ian Curtis are pure Manchester - an old town, a new town, a city that tears down the past and falls into the future.

Lisa 'Left Eye' Lopes
30:02
You can’t talk about TLC without talking about all three. But there’s always a point to every triangle, and TLC’s is Lisa ‘Left Eye’ Lopes.It’s her creativity, her contradictions and the way she could start fires. But there’s a bigger battle underneath it all. Poet vs rock star. Health fanatic vs alcoholic. Lover vs a warrior fixated on revenge. This is the story of how it all fits together… See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.John Lennon
29:08
It’s an unusually warm December day in New York City. Mild enough to linger on the sidewalk. To make time for people. But today is different. Because the madness is coming back. On this benign day, from out of a clear American sky. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.Sid Vicious
27:28
WARNING: This episode contains graphic descriptions and references to drug abuse.Sid Vicious. The name is potent, a kind of manifesto in itself. For some people, Sid Vicious is punk, its ultimate poster boy. But there nothing heroic about the tragedy of Sid Vicious, a boy whose only talent turned out to be for self-destruction.

32:25
WARNING: This episode contains references to suicide.In The End. If you’ve heard any Linkin Park song, it’s that one. Chester Bennington sings about nothing really mattering. But if that’s how he truly felt in the end, he was wrong. Chester may be gone, but his music still speaks for him. In the end, he never stopped. And neither does his story.If you’ve been affected by any of the issues spoken about in this podcast, please go to crowdnetwork.co.uk/helplines to find a list of people you can go to for help, or call the Samaritans at 116 123 (free to all UK numbers).

27:04
It’s all back to front, with Eva. The radio only notices when she’s gone. You hear her and she’s not there to explain why she sings like this, what’s formed her. The love comes after the death. And that’s how the story of Eva Cassidy has to be told, the only way it makes sense. We start at the end, and we work backwards. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.Marvin Gaye
31:30
WARNING: This episode contains references to suicidal thoughts and drug abuse.You know what they say about boys. They just want their father’s approval, when it comes down to it. And when you find out about Marvin Gaye – not just the records, and the voice, or the look, or the dope – that’s what you realise it’s all about. From the beginning until the end.

32:07
A lot of rock stars, you think you know them. You don’t think you know Prince. There’s so many stories, but they’re so mad, or funny, or just impossible, you’re never really sure what’s real. Because Prince is like no-one before or since. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.Marc Bolan
28:45
Marc Bolan was the elfin prince of glam rock. He was bard of the British underground, spinning fairy fantasies of other worlds with made up words, an acoustic guitar and a set of bongos. This is the story of how he lived fast, but died young. And is forever fixed in the public imagination as a sexy, swaggering, glam rocking icon.
