Description

'Stanley is both a fine writer and an impassioned celebrant of pop in all its mongrel, misfit glory.'STUART MACONIE, THE TIMESThere have been many books on pop music but none have attempted to chart its entire story, from thedawn of the charts in the fifties to pop's digital switchover in the year 2000, from Billy Fury and RoxyMusic to TLC and Britney via Led Zeppelin and Donna Summer. Audacious and addictive, Yeah YeahYeah is a landmark work that will remind you while you fell in love with it in the first place.
