Two of the world's preeminent music journalists tackle the liveliest debate in rock history: which band is the greatest ever-the Beatles or the Rolling Stones? More than two dozen topics of debate are addressed, with cases being made both for the lads from Liverpool and rock's proto bad boys. From the Cavern and Crawdaddy clubs through head-to-head comparisons of specific albums (e.g., Exile or "the White Album"?), members' roles within the bands,...

The first book in the English language on the history of baroque music does not need either apology or justification. Histories of music have been written usually as quick surveys of the entire field and if they specialize at all they concentrate as a rule on a single composer. It is a strange though incontestable fact that by far the great majority of music books deal with composers rather than their music. This attitude is a survival of the hero-worship...

Así como el rock es producto de otros géneros musicales, pero con un fuerte componente de origen africano, las distintas vertientes de la música española también tienen su origen en los ritmos que llegaron con los esclavos africanos en la Edad Media, los cuales se fueron amalgamando con los primitivos ritmos ibéricos, las sensuales danzas paganas de las puellae gaditanae, los cantos árabes y judíos, y posteriormente con las canciones gitanas....

"Este libro nace de las preguntas que me he hecho a lo largo de varias décadas de actividad profesional como improvisador musical. Nace, pues, de la praxis y de las ideas que genera un contacto diario con esta forma de hacer música. Son estas preguntas las que explican la presencia de todo lo demás ...

Funk: It's the only musical genre ever to have transformed the nation into a throbbing army of bell-bottomed, hoop-earringed, rainbow-Afro'd warriors on the dance floor. Its rhythms and lyrics turned bleak urban realties inside out with distinctive, danceable, downright irresistible music.
Funk hasn't received the critical attention that rock, jazz, and the blues have-until now. Colorful, intelligent, and in-you-face, Rickey Vincent's Funk celebrates...

Even the greatest songwriters (and Spandau Ballet) have had the odd bad day at the office. Or more likely, a bad few minutes in the studio toilets scribbling the first words they can think of on the back of their tranquiliser prescription shortly before the vocal has to be recorded. Johnny Sharp has trawled half a century of lyrics to find the funniest examples of crippled couplets, outrageous innuendo, mixed metaphors, shameless self-delusion, nefarious...
