| Description: |
What exactly was the alchemy that the Beatles performed which altered popular music in the 1960s? How should we understand the impact of the classic albums of the 60s and 70s? How did the seminal albums of the 80s and 90s change music? Looking at these questions, this title presents the reasons as to why these albums deserve recognition. |
| Synopsis: |
So much more than another best-ever roundup, here you'll find the reasons why these 100 albums deserve recognition for the way in which they transformed music. This work includes incisive, expert commentary on the stand-out albums from the bands and performers that really turned things on their head: from Bob Dylan to the Sex Pistols, and from Miles Davis to Marvin Gaye. What exactly was the alchemy that the Beatles performed which so profoundly altered popular music in the 1960s and how should we understand the impact and lasting significance of the classic albums of the 60s and 70s like "Grievous Angel", "Never Mind the Bollocks", "The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan", and "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust" and the "Spiders from Mars". How did the seminal albums of the 80s and 90s: "Like a Virgin"; "Thriller"; "Nevermind" and "Straight out of Compton" change and influence the music we listen to today? If you have one book on the shelf by your album collection, it should be this one. |

Between the Assassinations
Nestling on India's southern coast lies the town of Kittur. Ranging through the city's streets and schoolyards, bedrooms and businesses, its inner workings and its outer limits, through the myriad and distinctive voices of its inhabitants, this book presents an entire world. From the author of 'The White Tiger'.
|
So Much for That
The extraordinary new novel from the Orange Prize winning author of 'We Need to Talk About Kevin'. 'So Much For That' is a deeply affecting novel, told with Lionel Shriver's trademark originality, intelligence and acute perception of the human condition.
|
White Egrets
A collection of poems that treats such subjects as - the Caribbean's complex colonial legacy, the Western artistic tradition, the blessings and withholdings of old Europe (Andalucia, the Mezzogiorno, Amsterdam), the unaccomodating sublime of the new world, time's cunning passages, and the poet's place in all of this.
