This work spans the decades of rock 'n' roll from its explosion in the 1950s to the current 1990s music scene. The book explores and unfolds the saga as it happened in chronological order, allowing the events and personalities to emerge as they did in real time. Features woven into the narrative provide insights into the critical turning points in music history. "Headline News" lists important international current events putting the major music stories in context. Potted biographies, crazes, underground movements and scandals of the time help build a picture of each decade, and the book's photographs also capture the stars, gigs and atmosphere of each era.
