Out of all the Beatles, John Lennon had the most interesting – and frustrating – solo career. Lennon was capable of inspired, brutally honest confessional songwriting and melodic songcraft; he also had an undying love of straight-ahead rock & roll. But the extremes, both in his music and his life, were what made him fascinating. Where Paul McCartney was content to be a rock star, Lennon dabbled in everything from revolutionary politics to the television talk show circuit during the early '70s. After releasing a pair of acclaimed albums, John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band and Imagine, in the early '70s, Lennon sunk into an infamous "lost weekend" where his musical output was decidedly uneven and his public behavior was often embarrassing.

Fun House is the second album by the American rock band The Stooges. It was recorded in May 1970 and released in July of the same year. Like its predecessor, The Stooges (1969), Fun House did not sell well. In subsequent years, however, it has been cited as very influential on later musicians, notably in punk rock. In 2007, the album was voted Loudest Album Ever by Q Magazine.

Angst and anarchy fuelled indie, and it soon rose from its underground beginnings, to find global success with the likes of the The Stone Roses’ ‘Fools Gold’ and Happy Mondays’ ‘Step On’. Indie reached dizzying heights during the ‘90s when Britpop took over the official UK charts - allowing Mancunian band, Oasis to rise to the fore with indie anthems such as ‘Supersonic’. The noughties were a time of renaissance, with the rise of transatlantic super-groups such as The Killers and The White Stripes, which paved the way for the noughties’ nu-wave of revolutionary indie bands such as Mumford and Sons, Kasabian, The 1975, The Libertines, Bastille and Razorlight.
