The Story of Pop Music

(4) 4-6 Pop Histories series. The energetic graphics and raucous colors of these overviews are suitable for their subjects; overall the books will appeal to readers familiar with the genres, but the busy design and jumpy prose (with occasionally sloppy editing) make linear comprehension difficult. Dramatic photos, captions, quotations, and playlist suggestions abound in these compendiums of trends, performers, and producers. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind. Review covers these Pop Histories titles: The Story of Hip-hop, The Story of Pop Music, The Story of Punk and Indie, The Story of Rock Music, The Story of Soul and R&B, and The Story of Techno and Dance Music.
