Synopsis:
OUTRAGEOUS, OUTSPOKEN,
AND TOTALLY RELIABLE
Robert Christgau his adapted his notorious Village Voice column to produce the essential guide to recent rock and roll.
It is the first book devoted to the' years that brought us disco, punk, and new wave; that established Linda Ronstadt, Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, Bob Marley, and Deborah Harry as superstars; and that confirmed the brilliance of Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Stevie Wonder, and the Rolling Stones.
The man who has listened to more rock and roll than anyone else in the country offers a unique reference book, as energetic and rebellious as the music he has the nerve to grade-funny and personal, but always searching for musical, literary, and political standards in an amorphous and hype-ridden business.
He reviews and grades nearly 3,000 albums of the '70s
He offers the most up-to-date coverage of punk and new wave
And he lists the best records from the '50s, '60s, '70s, and '80s:
perfect for the library builder
