Book Review: The 100 Greatest Bands of All Times: A Guide to the Legends Who Rocked the World

Abstract

Pop music is pervasive. We listen ubiquitously, while driving, socializing, and performing countless tasks. The music is a source to which we turn when feeling sad and alone or happy and celebratory. Pop music is an important topic of inquiry because of the roles it plays in people’s lives and also because it provides continuous mass cultural exploration of identity, society, and contemporary experience.
