4.0 out of 5 stars This book does rock 3 Jun 2011
By K. Liesl - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
It's not correct to say I finished this one. Every time I open it there's something new to look at. This book is just gorgeous and has a ton of retro and vintage rock photos. My favorite is the use of vintage posters, album covers and rock tickets. In addition to the look, Thompson's picks are on the money but he struggles to put some genres into context. One example is an odd placement of a Bela Lugosi biography used at the beginning of a chapter on movie theme songs. Still, this is a book you'll love to own and want to share.

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautifully engaging book 2 Jun 2011
By Patrick Prince - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I'm proud to attach my name to an endorsement of this book. First off -- as witnessed through his many years as a Goldmine Magazine contributor -- Dave Thompson is an extremely witty and knowledgeable rock journalist and his writing style fits the objective of this book. Thompson is an expert on song selection and categorizes them here in a fun and engaging way. Visually stunning, this is the kind of book that will be hard to read only once and then abandon on a bookshelf somewhere. It's like a reference guide and coffee table book all in one; a book that you will enjoy returning to again and again. That's when you know a book is a good investment!

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun and entertaining book 2 Jun 2011
By Lauren Antico - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Love reference books, but this is more than that: it's fun to read, makes you laugh, and makes you often think abut songs you might have forgotten. Love the way it is organized into witty categories, too -- makes it a page-turner. Lovely design.
