Whether you believe individuals make a difference to history or not, here are some songs about history and the people in it.
Some great songs from Britain in the mid-90s. May or may not qualify as Britpop.
A selection of tracks on the subject of feeling like an impostor, inadequate or out of our depth.
The subject is angels and ghosts but the mood ranges from visceral to joyous to reflective on these afterlife tracks.
A reassessment of 1974, 50 years on. An almost themeless era as music wondered where to go next after the 60s, psychedelia, heavy metal, glam rock and the golden age of reggae. (And before punk came thundering in.) A fascinating tracklist.
An uplifting episode – though ironically the tracks are about boredom.
Alternative songs about Europe and European cities to celebrate Euros 2024.
A multi-genre selection united by all containing the word “Song” in their title.
An episode featuring fathers, mothers, daughters, sons, sisters, brothers, husbands, wives, grandmothers, half sisters, little sisters and the family tortoise.
A tribute to the legendary Steve Albini (RIP), featuring tracks from his bands Shellac and Big Black; and some of the myriad bands he audio-engineered.
A celebration of alternative bands incorporating the pedal steel guitar into their sound.
A tribute episode to the iconic female bass players – and also some you may not have heard of.
