Book Reviews of The Rolling Stone Illustrated History of Rock and Roll: The Definitive History of the Most Important Artists and Their Music
Book Review: history of rock and roll!
Summary: 4 Stars
Good book. As others have mentioned, there is a lot of stuff on the Beatles, which will be great (or not so great) depending on how you feel about them. Lots of people missing. In my opinion, they could have done a better job of covering the R&B stuff that is still influencing rock and roll music to this day. If you're specifically interested in that, Bobby Bennett (DJ from WOL) has a great book full of into about that genre, which you're probably not aware of. Over all though, I think this book will work for most people and give you a greater appreciation for the music of the past as well as how the music we listen to today came to be.
