When it comes down to it, there are so few really great books on rock, and rock musicians. I'd like to know what you FBO'ers think are the best ones. Here are a few of mine: England's Dreaming (by Jon Savage), Sweet Soul Music (by Peter Guralnick), Mystery Train (by Greil Marcus), Roomful of Mirrors (by Chuck Cross), True Adventures of the Rolling Stones (by Stanley Booth), Chronicles: Volume 1 (by Bob Dylan).
Josh, Id strongly recommend 'Dear Boy: The Life of Keith Moon' by Tony Fletcher if you're at all interested in The Who. If you like The Beatles. then get anything written by Mark Lewisohn and 'Revolution in the Head' by Ian MacDonald. Richard
