2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. A fitting survey of the rock n roll that built what we now call AlternativeBy J. T. GotsickIf you came of musical age during the era (1981-1996) covered by this compilation; it is both a great test of how cool you really were (I couldnt help but keep a running tally of how many of these bands Id listened to and/or seen live); and a reminder that you werent as cool as you thought you were... It also prompted me to go back and listen to a few old favorites again; as well as to go looking at some gems I missed.Im sure theres room for argument about whether some of the bands or albums belong on the list; and some that got looked over; but not many. Its US-centric; for sure; but I think its a fair assertion that lots of the indie movement came from the States. But only the truly dorky would hesitate to admit that this is a pretty damned good cross section of the best those years had to offer the hipsters of the era; and a welcome walk down memory lane.8 of 8 people found the following review helpful. Good stuffBy Daniel PowellIgnore the blowhards who need to turn every conversation about music into a pissing match. Do you like music? I do. And I dont listen to enough anymore. So far; this book has been a laser pointer; picking out great entry points for bands I was always curious about; but was either to distracted/broke/asleep to actually seek out. Having Spotify as an accompaniment will increase your enjoyment of this book immensely; and vice versa. I wish I would have just bought those Prisonshake and Trumans Water albums all those years ago ...5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. a great resource...amazingBy PatrickMust have title if you are in to researching 80s and 90s alt/indie rock. A good resource for finding out about older bands. The only downside is the fact that pretty much all the bands are rock/hardcore/post-punk/punk; etc. Detailed reviews of a TON of albums from the 80s and first half of 90s. BUY THIS TITLE NOW!
