Synopsis
The Faber Companion to 20th-Century Popular Music has established itself as the classic reference work in this area. From ABBA to ZZ Top, through Noel Coward, The Skatalites and The Stone Roses, this book covers the major players in the vast history of popular music in the twentieth century. With over 2,500 entries and covering bebop to western swing by way of psychedelic rock, Hardy maps out a cultural history of the century that is both entertaining and informative.

Review
"'Easily the best book of its kind: Sunday Times 'An excellent dictionary. What distinguishes this book from all similar works is the dispassionate assembly of its material. The present book displays wisdom and information, both in abundance.' Daily Telegraph 'This marvellous Companion is much more intuitive about the nature of art than the Oxford Companion to English Literature, for instance.' Sunday Telegraph"
