by Dave Thompson

More than just a guide to alternative rock recordings, this book presents a host of essays that delve into the genre's primary influences and how rock has changed the industry's ways of doing business, the cultural scene, and various technologies. Full of insightful recording reviews and artist profiles. 70 photos.


From the publisher

This book looks inside the artists and music that transformed the American and British soundscape of the 1980s and '90s. Scene-setting essays - some with interviews of key figures - explore alternative rock's primary influences, from Captain Beefheart to Brian Eno, and its many subgenres, from punk to grunge and Brit pop to trip hop. Reviews and profiles cover over 2 000 recordings and more than 500 musicians, such as The Beastie Boys, The Cure, R.E.M., Marilyn Manson, XTC and hundreds more. This comprehensive guide also examines the cultural scenes, technologies and people behind the alternative sound. From the author of Depeche Mode and Never Fade Away: The Kurt Cobain Story.

First line

On July 16, 1977, London's Capital Radio invited the Antichrist to come into the studio and play a few records.
