Item Description

Defining Moments in Music: The Greatest Artists, Albums, Songs, Performances and Events that Rocked the Music World

(Coffeetable book with lots of great photos)

Donated by Barry Lee

This is a very good book. Published in England, it is a chronological listing of what the editor and writers have tagged as the defining moments in western music, starting with the 20th century, through approximately 2004. They are divided into three, maybe four general categories, Key Events, Key People, and Key Concerts and Key Songs. There are two items on each page. Also, the photographs are excellent with some not so often seen ones.

What I like about this is that it covers all genres of popular music, not trying to pit some types of music against others. And, the writing is intelligent. For example, Bruce Springsteen's album, The River, is listed as a key album and the writer goes on to compare Springsteen's "The River" to the Clash's, "London Calling", bringing out some very insightful information, that as a longstanding Springsteen fan, I had not considered.

NOTE: This item must be picked-up at KKFI Studios or an additional shipping and handling fee will apply.
