A classic, finally back in print! British rock historian Barney Hoskyns
(Hotel California, Across the Great Divide: The Band in America)

its glamorous and debauched glory. The Beach Boys, Buffalo Springfield,
the Doors, Little Feat, the Eagles, Steely Dan, Linda Ronstadt, Joni
Mitchell, and others (from Charlie Parker right up to Black Flag, the
Minutemen, Jane's Addiction, Ice Cube, and Guns N' Roses) populate the
pages of this comprehensive and extensively illustrated book.
