Put This On Your List

Dave Marsh's Original Book of Rock Lists is great resource guide for any music fan. From complete chapters on Elvis & The Beatles to list the top 40 songs and albums for every year from 1956 to 1980, you get fun lists of well-remember to almost forgotten songs.

The Book of Rock Lists is a must for all rock trivia buffs!

In this book, Dave Marsh has compiled the definitive lists of the best and the worst that rock 'n' roll has to offer. Drawing from his experience as a rock critic for Rolling Stone magazine, he has covered every aspect of rock 'n' roll, from musicians to songwriters, from attitude to publicity. Along with his own opinions and information, he has gathered the input of other select critics and musicians. Irreverent and witty, this book is a great read. No one with aspirations of being a master of rock trivia should be without it. Where else can you get a list of all the best records that never made it to #1? Who else has compiled a list of the absolute silliest band names to come out of the 60's? Where else can you get good advice like "Don't let the roadie handle your valuable guitar. I have a box of toothpicks that used to be a Les Paul"? This book is now out of print, but it is worth the wait to find a used copy.
