Book Reviews of The A to X of Alternative Music
Book Review: A man who knows his stuff
Summary: 5 Stars
Steve Taylor has been one of the forces of London radio station XFM's output when it comes to opening people eyes to music that has passed.The book (like the show) is packed full of information and knowledge that, for someone who is interested in learning the history of where my favourite bands have come from, is both informative and helpful on getting to grasp of why "alternative" music today like sounds like it does.
Never coimg across like its written by a musical snob, endlessly researched, and always an entertaining read, its a good reference for many pub conversations in the future, while giving you a new reason to buy some more cds
