And Thus We Have Rock ‘N’ Roll
For you who haven’t seen the film, I will tell you a little that it is a comedy about culture and music revolution, pirate radio, and a pissed-off old fashioned government. Though not stated clearly in the movie, looks like the “Radio Rock” station does resemble Radio Caroline North, one of the early 60’s pirate radio stations in England who also broadcast offshore from a ship. Radio Rock broadcast rock ‘n’ roll and pop songs which weren’t aired much by BBC at that time. Since the station was unlicensed and aired what was deemed as the source of moral degeneration, they really pushed the button of the government so they made Marine Offenses Act.
And for the soundtrack, I don’t know where I should start. The OST is a double album, two CDs and each CD contains 18 songs. Needless to say, all numbers are fabulous (for them who love the oldies off course). The album has those early rock ‘n’ roll, blues, pop, RnB, you name it. There are Jimi Hendrix, The Who, Beach Boys, Martha Reeves & The Vandellas, The Turtles, The Supremes, Otis Redding,…and many more. They are the founding fathers and mothers of the music we know today. Without them, and off course the obstinacy of the pirate radio stations in the early 60’s, we won’t have all the great stuffs in music.
So, if you are a big fan of 60’s music or want to feel all the hype you once had in that era, The Boat That Rocked is definitely a pick. Enjoy!
P.S. Since uploading all of the songs will be too much of a burden for my poor connection, I only pick some them.
