reference books

we just got the newest edition of this at the music library.

Volume 1: Aaliyah to Lynyrd Skynyrd

Volune 2: MC Hammer to ZZ Top


Volume 2 also includes topical essays and relevant indexes (i swear the correct pluralization is "indices"). The topical essays include "Grunge: A Brief History of a Hard Rock Genre," "Rap's Emergence into the Mainstream," "The Transformation of Commercial Radio," and "The Music Industry: Economics, Marketing, and New Artist Development."

It's pretty entertaining.

    i dispute this guy's criteria; lynyrd skynyrd was by no means "popular" in the 1990s.
