Vinyl - (Martin Scorsese & Terrence Winter/HBO/70's Music Series)

[Danie84]

This show is the reason why our beloved Boardwalk Empire was kilt off early

...I've always been intrigued with the beginnings of the seedy record biz, tho

And, Bobby Cannavale's so underrated, but slowly he's getting his just dues

Reviews

THR
Music being such a personal preference, who knows if the show will be a hit for HBO. But creatively it’s a thing of real beauty, attempting to tell stories of people absolutely enamored with music on a life-altering level. Cannavale, already established and known to crush a scene on demand, takes his work to an entirely new stratum here — Vinyl pulsates in every scene he’s in.

The Global Mail
One of the defining elements of Vinyl is its blunt depiction of an era when people bought vinyl records, the radio stations played them and the business was fuelled by money and cocaine. We see DJs paid to play new records with cash and coke. We see orgies hosted by radio station owners who believe they are the real power brokers in a multibillion dollar business. Vinyl is drenched in music, there is barely a scene that doesn’t have classic pop and rock playing. And all of it feels authentic, anchored in Jagger’s stories and staged by Scorsese with formidable verve.

TVLINE
Vinyl may hit one or two questionable notes in its first five episodes, but fueled by a beautifully realized sense of place and Cannavale’s certain-to-be-Emmy-nominated performance, it’s definitely worth a spin. Grade: B+

They'll be portraying real life people that were around in that time period, similar to how Boardwalk Empire did.

Here's a list of some of the names I've seen mentioned. I'll put it in a spoiler in case people want to go in blind.

Spoiler

Andy Warhol, Robert Plant, David Bowie, John Bonham, Otis Redding, Lou Reed, Bo Diddley, Lester Bangs, Alice Cooper, John Lennon, Kool Herc.

@jay211 Maybe remove the rock and roll part from the title? Seems like it is covering music business as a whole with a few genres and it may dissuade some ppl from even entering the thread.
