A history of rockers from the 1950s to 1990s who did not become famous. It is based on the author's interviews with the musicians, and the companion CD contains 12 songs by a variety of unknown greats. There are stories of careers laced with triumph and disastrous business moves.For every Beatles or Stones, there are dozens of visionary rock groups who remain unsung heroes. From cult figures such as Pink Floyd's Syd Barrett (the most famous musician included here) to virtually undiscovered artists, this behind-the-scenes book with a fascinating CD of 12 rare songs celebrates the best rockers in everything from '50s rockabilly to '90s post-punk - the unknown greats who, for one reason or another, just never made it. Features lots of photos throughout. |
