Has pop burnt itself out?
Paul Morley takes the reader on an epic drive through the history of music to find out.

Detours and sights along the way include Missy Elliot, Jarvis Cocker, Eminem, Human League, Radiohead, Lou Reed, Now That's What I Call Music, Ornette Coleman and the ghost of Elvis Presley.Languages:EnglishPublisher:University of Georgia PressISBN-13:9780820327051ISBN-10:820327050UPC:9780820327051Book Category:MusicBook Subcategory:Genres & StylesBook Topic:Pop Vocal, RockSize:9.38 x 6.28 x 1.13 inchesWeight:1.19Product ID:SCPXKSR8YJ
