Review :
"The text I've been waiting for, for History of Rock classes. An intelligently selected and insightful collection of 'primary readings' that captures the excitement of an always changing musical form. (It's nice to see genres such as progressive rock and electronica represented as well, at last!)"--Kevin Holm-Hudson, University of Kentucky
