Really forced myself to persist with this based on reviews and high praise from people who have now lost all credibility. The acting is terrible, the plot is non-existent bordering on ridiculous. I don't find it funny nor entertaining even in a cheesy way apart from a few cringey one-liners. Every episode is repetitive and lacking in depth or soul or any kind of artistic ingenuity or intregrity. None of the talentless hacks involved with this monstrosity will ever find work in the industry once this ends unless for porn or some afternoon soap opera. It boggles my mind how anyone can like this or why it is even greenlit beyond pilot not to mention a season and episodes both way too long. A nothing show for nothing people.

I've been a musician and avid listener/collector my whole life. But for some reason never heard of this guy Mark Ronson. And watching these 8 episodes helped me understand why. He has had commercial success but that is different from actually creating great music, great songs. Something about him rubbed me the wrong way from the get-go. But who knows in another life we could have been friends. If we do in this one, I hope he doesn't read this.

The idea for the show is good and some cool stuff here and there but most of the artists interviewed are quite obscure or has-beens. I'm guessing all the real players didn't wanna have anything to do with this which doesn't surprise me as i wouldn't either if I were them.

I'm guessing this series was aimed more at tiktok culture and djs with tear tattoos on their faces and their annoying, confused fans.

Not for me.

If you love bands/artists like Radiohead, CCR, Brian Eno, Tom Waits, Jon Hopkins, The National, Howlin Wolf, Tchaikovsky, John Maus, Joe Satriani, Vicevoids, Toto, etc.... You will probably share my sentiments.

Thanks for reading.

I really liked the first episode and was expecting more. There is no cohesive narrative structure to this mess of a series. I gave up after 4 episodes.

Never got into Bowie, Bolan, Carole King, glamrock... Weak, over-calculated wannabe poets with no heart or talent. I just dont like the sound of their recordings nor their melodies/lyrics. Maybe its a fidelity thing. Some songs are okay at best.

Lennon is a genius. Imagine is a masterpiece album. Marvin Gaye is an incredible singer. Whats going on is another masterpiece.

Harrison was a hack with some good moments.

I am a big floyd and zep fan.

Just dont waste your time with this political garbage. Musicians dont understand anything about that stuff.

We just wanna have a good time.

Stop killing each other.

Edit: ok was in a bad mood when wrote the above. Decided to plod on with it. Finished the second half and actually enjoyed it. Bumped up rating from one to seven. But still no zeppelin mentioned in the whole series? Their biggest album and masterpiece was released november 1971. I'm guessing the producers of the show didnt get rights from zep.
