Product Description

Review
"The book features an excellent roster of authors and will make a valuable companion to popular–music studies, histories and surveys" CHOICE

Product Description
Original essays by leading scholars in the field of popular music studies map the competing perspectives on the key terms of contemporary debates on popular music and culture. Each essay describes the history of continuities and conflicts in a term′s meaning, situating the writer′s own position on the term in that history of debate.

Providing a invaluable overview of the current state of popular music discourse, the collection will be useful both to those new to the study of popular music and those already well–versed in popular music and cultural studies.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good resource... for some, 28 Oct 2003
This book is not for the casual student of popular music. You'll find no cool stories of amazing concerts and no tales of studio high jinx here (well, almost none anyway), and a good biography or fifteen would serve you better for that. This is about analyzing popular music writ large in a deep and profound manner, even about taking a stab at defining popular music as a field of study. The language is fairly academic and the points made seem less than exciting at times. Simply put, this is mainly for college students (especially those involved in musicology) and for those it will be a good resource. Others would be much better off buying something else.
