Appetite for definition : an A-Z guide to rock genres

King, Ian2018
Books, Manuscripts
In the six decades since rock'n'roll stole America's soul, the single genre has produced over 200 sub-genres. The days of being able to walk in to a Tower Records and seek out recommendations from an aloof, all-knowing staffer has been relegated to a long-lost Generation X paradise preserved in John Hughes films. From iTunes to Spotify, listeners now regularly turn to algorithms instead of human advice to develop relationships with the music they love. The essential companion for any rock lover's collection - be it on vinyl or Spotify playlists - this book breaks down algorithms into their human stories and interconnected histories. It provides and pulls up recommendations from a deeper well of consideration and gives you the tools to do the same.
