About the Book

Christgau’s writings, collected here, constitute a virtual encyclopedia of popular music over the past fifty years, ranging from the 1950s singer-songwriter tradition through hip-hop, alternative, and beyond. With unfailing style and grace, Christgau negotiates the straits of great music and thorny politics, and commerce.
