1976

Episode 26 of 50

The great drought, the American Bicentennial, Denis Healey and Jimmy Carter, with music from Joan Armatrading, the Eagles, Peter Frampton, the Damned and the Sex Pistols.

Jeremy Vine passes the midway point in Radio 2's audio journey through five decades of triumph, tragedy and trivia, and reaches 1976.

1976 is the year of the great drought, the American Bicentennial, Denis Healey and Jimmy Carter. The music is what they called AOR (album oriented rock) - Joan Armatrading, the Eagles and Peter Frampton - but there are some noisy new kids on the block in the shape of The Damned and the Sex Pistols.
