Hit Parade | Music History and Music Trivia - All Apologies Edition Part 1

Hit Parade | Music History and Music Trivia - All Apologies Edition Part 1

The story of Nevermind, Nirvana’s genre-defining breakthrough, is a familiar one. Less well known is the saga of Billboard’s Modern Rock chart—and how college-rock staples of the 1980s like R.E.M. and The Cure gave way to heavier, more commercially dominant groups of the ‘90s like Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, and The Smashing Pumpkins. What sparked the grungification of the charts? How did Modern Rock become the new Top 40? And how did the Seattle sound pave the way for post-grunge bands like Sublime, Third Eye Blind, and even Creed?


Join Chris Molanphy as he explores alternative rock’s evolution from the cutting edge to the middle of the road.


Podcast production by Olivia Briley and Kevin Bendis.
