Yeah Yeah Yeah : The Story of Modern Pop
The Story of Modern Pop - Book - by Bob Stanley
(2014)
Bob
Stanley's Yeah Yeah Yeah tells the chronological story of the modern
pop era, from its beginnings in the fifties with the dawn of the charts,
vinyl, and the music press, to pop's digital switchover in the year
2000, from Rock Around the Clock to Crazy In Love. It was more than just
music - it could be your whole life. Yeah Yeah Yeah covers the birth of
rock, soul, punk, disco, hip hop, indie, house and techno.
It
also includes the rise and fall of the home stereo, Top Of The Pops,
Smash Hits and "this week's highest new entry". Yeah Yeah Yeah is the
first book to look back at the entire era: what we gained, what we lost,
and the foundations we laid for future generations. There have been
many books on pop but none have attempted to bring the whole story to
life, from Billy Fury and Roxy Music to TLC and Britney via Led Zeppelin
and Donna Summer.
Audacious
and addictive, Yeah Yeah Yeah is essential reading for all music
lovers. It will remind you why you fell in love with pop music in the
first place.
