100 легенд рока. Живой звук в каждой фразе

Debating the value and harmfulness of rock took as much ink as the make-up cost of an entire Kiss tour. But how to argue about the musical element, which avoids definitions and frozen forms? Described in the book 100 names and plots from the history of rock allow us to appreciate the rebellious power of music, over which time has no power. Under one cover are unquestioned authorities like Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, and "shadow" classics, including the creators of garage psychedelia The 13th Floor Elevators, cult country rocker Graham Parsons, recognized decades later as Big Star. In 100 stories of frenzy, iconic events and creative insights - the whole path of a revolutionary musical form from naive early rock and roll to the concept of prog, the heavy tread of hardrock, avant-garde experiments of the punk underground. A useful addition is a classic album recommended for each chapter.
