Gitta Rensolo Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Yes there is more than just the music itself...... A meaning behind it (political etc....), an influence on different cultures....(btw this is the thing I want to study at university "musicology")...... So what music literature can you recommend? What is it about? Maybe a biography? Comments by musicologists? By the artists themselves? etc..... What did you read so far? I read some books about 50 years in german pop-history.....there was this huge documentary about it called "pop 2000" some years ago....quite interesting..... Anything similar? Whatever it is feel free to recommend something......if it's possible not only a list of names.....maybe what it is like etc.... Thanks:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ondes Martenot Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 this one was linked on wikipedia, looks good "'How to Disappear Completely': Radiohead and the Resistant Concept Album" by Marianne Tatom Letts (2005, University of Texas at Austin) http://www.illuin.org/Marianne/Marianne_Tatom_Letts_dissertation.pdf (pdf file) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenjie Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 the book shop I used to work in had loads of different music books in, across a variety of subjects from biographies of artists/bands to information about the various types of music (punk/rock/classical/country etc) A friend recommended 'Ratpack Confidential' by Sean Levy to me as a good music biog to read. I've not got round to reading it yet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
