 [...] a fascinating but often frustrating book that is part memoir, part critical overview and – the frustrating bit – part potted history of popular music. DistinctionsListes notables
"The entire history of popular music over the past fifty years refracted through the big genres that have defined and dominated it-including rock, country, punk, R&B, dance and hip-hop-woven together into a cosmic reckoning with music's evolution as a popular art form, as a huge cultural and economic force, and as an essential component to our identities, from Black Sabbath to Black Flag to Beyoncé, and beyond"-- Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Sanneh is a fan of all these types of music so he brings in his personal experience when discussing them. I find that appropriate since music is such a personal thing. Sanneh does a great job at summarizing the history and the struggles of artists within these genres to remain true to their style. He also notes that over the past 50 years that each of these genres is converging to create a new "pop" music even at a time when streaming music platforms should allow greater splits.
This was a fun an informative book for a music fan. (
