商品簡介
This book explores pop rock's nooks and crannies, unearthing lost gems from should-have-been major artists, revisiting lesser known works by established icons, and spotlighting musicians who simply don't fit into neat categories. The encyclopedic alphabetical structure throws off strange sparks as disparate genres and eras rub against each other: folk-psych iconoclasts face louche pop crooners; indie rock bumps against eighties soul which jostles proto-punk; outsider artists set their odd masterpieces down next to obscurities from the stars; lo-fi garage rock cuddles up with the French avant-garde; and roots rock weirdoes trip over bubblegum. This book will delight any jukebox junkie or pop culture enthusiast.
