Chicago Sounds in the 80s: Underground Incubator

About

Sound Opinions hosts Jim DeRogatis and Greg Kot—two of the finest and best-recognized pop music writers in the nation—sit down with living legends from Chicago's musical movements of the 1980s including Chris Connelly (Revolting Cocks, Ministry) and 'Godfather of House' DJ Frankie Knuckles, to explore the music and politics of the decade. Presented in conjunction with the MCA exhibition This Will Have Been: Art, Love & Politics in the 1980s.

Based in Chicago, Sound Opinions is hosted by Jim DeRogatis and Greg Kot, who for over a decade were dedicated competitors at Chicago’s two daily newspapers—Jim at the Chicago Sun-Times and Greg at the Chicago Tribune. Today, Jim writes about music for WBEZ.org and teaches criticism at Columbia College. Every week, Sound Opinions fires up smart and spirited discussions about a wide range of popular music, from indie rock to classic rock, hip hop to R&B, and every genre under the sun.
