Review

Toronto DJ Cross spent years compiling this almanac, which recounts the history of alternative music and presents an almanac of events and artist birthdays. The result is a strong collection of music 'milestones' and information which will fascinate any already interested in alternative music's definition and major artists. -- Midwest Book Review

This review is from: Alternative Music Almanac (Paperback)

I was a little skeptical about buying this book at first, but I'm glad I did! It's jam-packed with tons of info about specific artists and tells the history of "alternative" music! He sweeps over a billion bands with such different sounds from Depeche Mode and Frankie goes to Hollywood, to Pantera and Husker Du and even Live, REM and David Bowie! The author also gives lots of lists of the best albums and labels and also internet sites (even though most of them are too old). I definitely recommend this book to any music fan who likes to read.
