Available for 28 days

T celebrates the 20th anniversary of the Arctic Monkeys iconic debut record 'Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not'. From the View From The Afternoon, all the way through to A Certain Romance, one young man's interpretation of a night out in Sheffield changed modern indie music forever, fusing kitchen sink realism, with brutal poetic wit. We take a look at the history, including the records that influenced it's creation, and the artists that were born as a result of it. Was Alex Turner the 21st Century's John Cooper Clarke, Alan Sillitoe and Shakespeare all rolled into one? We'll leave that up to you... Download and listen on BBC Sounds.
