Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. First published in the United States of America in 2006 by Universe Publishing, 1st printing. Preface by Michael Lydon. 960pp. Very Good, massive & bright hardcover w/sharp corners & crisp edges, gently used, w/slight separation of an o/w intact binding. "All the greats are here: from Marvin Gaye's inspirational 1971 What's Going On--a response to his brother's return from Vietnam--to David Bowie's extraordinary concept album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust. . . Explore musical history, from The Beach Boys' pop milestone Pet Sounds to Nirvana's catapulting of grunge into the popular consciousness with Nevermind. As well as the acknowledged 'classics,' there are many unexpected treats, such as Einsturzende Neubauten's power tool-enhanced soundscapes, and Aphex Twin's sonic troublemaking. 1001 ALBUMS YOU MUST HEAR BEFORE YOU DIE pays homage to the many forces at work in the musical world and a multitude of genres--a vast quota of rock and pop of course, but also slices of rock'n'roll and jazz, funk and pop, disco and soul, hip hop, experimental and world music, and a wide cross section of dance music. [] Detailed descriptions of each album are accompanied by fascinating insights and trivia. Did you know, for example, that the Velvet Underground and Nico album is credited with inspiring artists from Bowie to Joy Division, and from R.E.M. to The Strokes? Relive the aftermath of Bob Dylan's fateful appearance with an electric guitar at the Newport Folk Festival with his darkly visionary Highway 61 Revisited, recorded in 1965. Skip forward to the retro-guitar of The Sone Roses' eponymous album, taking in the best of the rest before, and since. From cult and obscure, to popular and mainstream, 1001 ALBUMS YOU MUST HEAR BEFORE YOU DIE fully encompasses the universal culture of music." [jacket copy] "This bookshelf-busting testament to music geeks' mania for lists is about as comprehensive a 'best-of' as any sane person could want. Editor Dimery and the army of 90 music critics he drafted to compile this beast begin in the 1950s with Frank Sinatra, end in 2005 with The White Stripes and cover every genre, sub-genre, fad, flash-in-the-pan and musical movement that hit in the intervening years, taking each on their own merits. [] Arranged chronologically and with an excellent index, the book's a pleasure to peruse. Hundreds of jacket art reproductions accompany original track listings, and the critic-penned album summaries are brisk, informed, devoid of snark and full of argument-ending trivia. As with any list, there are bound to be glaring omissions and contentious inclusions, though Dimery buffets the book somewhat by disqualifying from consideration compilations, greatest hits albums and most soundtracks. For music lovers, it doesn't get much better."--Publishers Weekly. VG jacket has slight, repaired tears & covers a clean, quite readable reference tome. Artikel-Nr. RUB3415
