Developed through the Internet over the last two years, this completely updated edition of The Rough Guide to Rock includes career biographies of more than 1200 bands and artists, detailing their triumphs, embarrassments and disasters. It features incisive opinion from hundreds of contributors, on every phase and craze of rock, from Captain Beefheart through Divine Comedy - with sub-plots from the worlds of dance, pop and soul. There are critical discographies for each entry, reviewing the best of what's available on CD, in no-nonsense style, and hundreds of pictures from the best rock photographers, and loads of great album covers.
'Like rock 'n' roll itself, The Rough Guide is unafraid to stick its neck out for the sake of passion.'
