Customer Reviews

Very Interesting and informative.

Short and sweet. . .this book's information gave me a new appreciation for the music and it's makers! After my class in college was over, I donated this book to the college library so others could enjoy.

Excellent book

I have this book for a class on the social history of rock and roll, and it's such an easy and interesting read that I find myself reading the non-required parts. Very informative and to-the-point.

Very Good for what it is.

What is it? A comprehensinve list type book on the history of rock and roll. Not much depth, but ALL genres covered.

Excellent, concise resource for the social history of rock

I have read and re-read this book many times since I first picked up the 3rd edition in 1996. I am a high school social studies teacher and I use this book as a resource constantly when I am teaching contempory history. Well thought out, concise yet complete, easily readable. I applaud Mr. Szatmary for his effort, the book has inspired me to research the sociolgical implications of rock and roll and not merely the "pop history" currently offered. Further, I was so inspired by this book that it prompted me to author a website dedicated to the sociology of rock and roll history.
