[QUOTE="JonnyP, post: 1125350, member: 17918"] Going to break my rule regarding the above post about music, I love a good book about music whether it be a biography or a general look at styles. So four good ones: England’s Dreaming - Jon Savage The defining account of punk music in the UK (with the background and a great discography) Rip It Up - Simon Reynolds The most annoying writer for the IPC publications (NME/Melody Maker) wrote the most impressive book on the post-punk music in the UK and beyond incorporating various movements (Ohio, NDW etc) and styles from pre and post punk. If you want to know how music developed over the late 70s to 80s, essential. Julian Cope - Krautrocksampler The former Teardrop Explodes, chief Druid of bizzare and all round weird music General wrote a great book covering the German Prog/psych movement of the late 60s to mid-Seventies. If you want an introduction to the music and the movements that led to it, indispensable Can All Gates Open - Irmin Schmidt and Rob Young Part biography, part auto-biography. Tells the story of one of the greatest bands ever, and in the section by Irmin Schmidt, their legacy and work practices. Another fantastic book [/QUOTE]
