From back cover (original edition):
Robert Christgau has adapted his notoriousVillage Voice columnto produce the essential guide to recent rock and roll. It is the firstbook devoted to the years that brought us disco, punk, and new wave;that established Linda Ronstadt, Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, BobMarley, and Deborah Harry as superstars; and that confirmed thebrilliance of Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Stevie Wonder, and the RollingStones.
The man who has listened to more rock and roll than anyone else inthe country offers a unique reference book, as energetic and rebelliousas the music he has the nerve to grade--funny and personal, but alwayssearching for musical, literary, and political standards in anamorphous and hype-ridden business.
