Program Description

Event Details

Join music critics Jim DeRogatis and Greg Kot, hosts of the world’s only rock ‘n’ roll talk show, for a live, online event celebrating seminal albums from 1972 and their lasting influence. Some fans think that all of the innovations which continue to echo in popular music today came in the '60s. Greg and Jim will make the case that 1972 was actually every bit as creative and influential in the long term. They'll examine the albums they think were enduring masterpieces created a half-century ago, and follow their threads into the present.

Sound Opinions is your source for smart and engaging music criticism and conversation. Each week on the show, Jim and Greg interview artists, talk about pop culture and music industry news, review new record releases and give trends a historical context. Sound Opinions can be heard on WBEZ and 150 other public radio stations across the country.
