A collection of performances from the BBC archives, celebrating the sights and sounds and the ups and downs of London through the words and songs through the years - from Petula Clark singing A Foggy Day in London Town in 1965 to Adele performing her love letter to the city in Hometown Glory, filmed in October 2007 on the roof of the BBC car park in Shepherds Bush. Also featured are the likes of the Jam, Eddy Grant, Tom Paxton and Lily Allen plus many more.
Found it on iplayer. Interesting though its obvious weakness is that the link is London rather than any particular type of music.
Worth a watch imo.
