This may seem strange but I need a book to use as a strawman to beat down in this paper I'm writing. Some sort of history of pop music from 1950-2000 (or 199x or whatever) that makes rock music central to the narrative yet claims to be a history of 1950-19xx music as a whole. It would also, hopefully, rely on albums to tell the story rather than singles for the most part.
And then any good music histories that cover the period 1977-1985 would be great too. I've got "Last Night a DJ..." and "Love Saves the Day" already. Those are great.
Any additional help would be wonderful.
thanks in advance
