1964-1966年是摇滚乐的文艺复兴时期，在本集中，我们看到英美摇滚乐团相互较劲的有趣历史。尤其是在1960年代英国摇滚乐团披头四（The Beatles），风潮从大西洋西岸的英国反扑至东岸的美国纽约，甚至蔓延至全世界。这四位来自利物浦的大男孩，从家乡的小酒馆变成全球少男少女的偶像。没想到四十年过去了，披头四的魅力至今仍未递减，反而成为全球重要的次文化现象。影片便从披头四的发迹史谈起，再为观众介绍英美两地摇滚乐团的不同，也为观众引介了像是滚石、史密斯飞船的摇滚乐团，比较两地之间的差异。
本集收录了1963年的披头四演唱片段、1965年的滚石合唱团演唱片段，及当时正值青春年少的Kinks及谁合唱团。海滩男孩回忆当年英国摇滚乐团如何激发了他们的创意。The Temptations、Supremes及Lovin Spoonful的演唱实况，重现摇滚乐那个创意勃发的年代。

本集记录了最让国人热血沸腾，也是最熟悉的1980年代。音乐录像带的兴起与MTV音乐台出现，将摇滚流行乐带入了另一个新的境界，摇滚乐也在198080年代再一次转型。
人民公敌、警察合唱团、史密斯飞船合唱团、野兽男孩、呛辣红椒合唱团……都是其中的佼佼者。1980年代的摇滚乐充满了话题性和耸动性，重视影像、包装以及不同的唱片运作，将音乐更加商业化，MTV就是最具代表性的产物。麦可杰克森全盛时期的《比莉珍》、《战栗》魅力四射，也突破了MTV的肤色限制。玛丹娜的《证明我的爱》争议性十足，甚至被禁播……这些经典至今仍是令人难以忘怀的作品。
片中还兼谈了涂鸦、嘻哈、饶舌、霹雳舞等新兴起的音乐、文化现象，至今在音乐史上仍具有绝对性的影响力。乐迷亦可欣赏最早期的饶舌歌曲演唱实况。

什么是摇滚乐，而摇滚乐的魅力又在哪呢？
本集中，乐坛的摇滚老将布鲁斯史宾斯汀、戴维鲍伊纷纷对摇滚乐下定义，尽管他们的解释有所不同，但是我们透过他们的言语了解到摇滚乐是何等的重要。其它摇滚乐坛熠熠红星包括小理察、米克杰格及U2的波诺谈改变他们一生的歌曲，并且收录首批摇滚巨星全盛时期的风采：马帝华特斯、查克贝瑞等，以及蒂娜透纳回忆当年在棉花田里作牛作马及梦想成为歌手的情景。另收录麦可杰克森电力十足的《比莉珍》演唱实况。
