5.0 out of 5 stars Enter the world of the Rock Industry, 13 Mar 2001
By A Customer
This book is an amazing insight into the rock and roll world. It is excellent for both the person who lives for music to anyone with a passing interest in the music industry. Pete Frame has put together the definitive work on the birth and passing of some of the best known music bands in the world, complete with the most detailed guide to the comings and goings of all the band members. You will not find a better guide anywhere. I was enthralled as I followed the paths of my favourite bands and found myself listening to the music of these bands with a whole new perspective.

An incredible piece of work that must have taken years of painstaking research, lots of late nights and a dedication to his subject that most people only dream of. So sit down with your favourite beverage, power up the CD player and take a walk with Pete Frame through his forest of Rock Family Trees. You'll find the journey well worth the effort.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Statement In Time - Of The Time., 4 Nov 2006
By Alan Burridge (Poole,, Dorset. United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Whilst the Mitchell/French debate is well and good, and French missing the whole point and Mitchell spot-on-the-nail, they are not telling you what an exempliary book this is.
Pete Frame had this brilliant idea of mapping out how and where and with whom in the line-ups from the year dot to the then present day of just about every band worth their salt in the style of The Family Tree. And the fans loved it, and still do, despite the 'Trees' now being somewhat out-of-date; (so what was Pete supposed to do, spend his life updating them? Then everyone would be moaning about the never-ending re-publications of this book - ya can't please everyone!)
At the time, we rock fans idolised and adored Pete's superb caligraphic swirls of the Rotring pen, and those of us who have the nonce (like Mr. Mitchell but not Mrs. French), and who can see the wood for the trees, thoroughly enjoy these fine 'Histories Of The Rock Bands In A Totally Unique Format' for what they are; and in their day were very informative, historic, interesting, and indeed, many of the facts Pete pulled out by interviewing the individual members of each of the band's concerned, were previously unknow to the fans of the bands or artistes concerned. Yes, Pete Frame placed something extremely valid on the music scene with his 'Rock Family Trees,' and will be remembered for this fabulous tome for quite some millennia into the future, out-of-date as it most certainly is.

5.0 out of 5 stars Some background as to why i left this review in April 2007, 10 April 2007
By John Mitchell "Secondhand IS recycling" (Staffordshire, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The reason why i left this review was because at the time there was only one review - Mrs French's. She had critisised the book as being 'out of date' being oblivious to the fact that the book had been published almost twenty years before she left her review. She had given the book three stars and, as she was at the time the books only reviewer, the book had, therefore, only three stars. Whilst we are all free to leave reviews of products we own on Amazon i felt i could not let this go unchallenged. (I pointed out that I had not actually read the book out of fairness, though i did remember the TV show, 'rock family trees' voiced by John Peel, based on the rock family trees series of books.) The review i left is as follows:

"I have not read either this, or the follow-up 'more rock family trees' but I felt I must comment... on Mrs. French's review of the book. In the 'product details' part of the web page, above this review but a little bellow the main heading it quite clearly states (for anyone who cares to look) that this book was published in December 1983. Mrs. French is therefore quite incorrect when she states that the book is not up to date. It is as 'to date' as a book about the Vietnam War may be when published in 1972 or 'to date' as a book about the cold war published before the fall of the Berlin wall...
P.S. It appears that Genesis may be on the verge of reforming for some concerts..."

(In case you are wondering about the Genesis remark Mrs French had critised the book by saying 'according to this book Genesis are still together' (actually they WERE when the book was written) so i decided to sink to her level by pointing out that at the time i left my review they had reformed - although they were not when Mrs French left her review in 2001.)
