These are the songs that we have listened to, laughed to, loved to and laboured to, as well as downed tools and danced to.

Covering the last seven decades, Stuart Maconie looks at the songs that have sound tracked our changing times, and  just sometimes  changed the way we feel. Beginning with Vera Lynns Well Meet Again, a song that reassured a nation parted from their loved ones by the turmoil of war, and culminating with the manic energy of Bonkers, Dizzee Rascals anthem for the push and rush of the 21st century inner city, The Peoples Songs takes a tour of our islands pop music, and asks what it means to us.

This is not a rock critique about the 50 greatest tracks ever recorded. Rather, it is a celebration of songs that tell us something about a changing Britain during the dramatic and kaleidoscopic period from the Second World War to the present day. Here are songs about work, war, class, leisure, race, family, drugs, sex, patriotism and more, recorded in times of prosperity or poverty. This is the music that inspired haircuts and dance crazes, but also protest and social change.

The companion to Stuart Maconies landmark Radio 2 series, The Peoples Songs shows us the power of cheap pop music, one of Britains greatest exports. These are the songs we worked to and partied to, and grown up and grown old to  from A Whiter Shade of Pale to Rehab', She Loves You to Star Man, Dedicated Follower of Fashion to Radio Ga Ga.
