The Great Indie Discography 2024 pdf epub mobi 電子書 下載

In The Great Indie Discography, Martin C. Strong has chronicled the careers of musicians who have positioned themselves outside the mainstream. Over five decades, the musicians included have followed their own creative impulses rather than commercial success. In the process, they have often forged new musical styles, influencing future artists and birthing whole movements. Organized alphabetically, each entry includes complete discographies, band histories, catalog numbers, chart listings, and recommended listening. This new edition brings each existing entry completely up-to-date and includes a massive 250 new artists, almost doubling the number of pages. In his selections, Strong draws equally from the American and British scenes. From the Velvet Underground and Captain Beefheart, who offered something different for the flower power movement of the 1960s, to the filth and fury of punk and its revival in the form of The White Stripes and The Strokes, to Primal Scream, to the ascension of grunge and Nirvana and its current resurgence, to the techno-soul offerings of Moby et al., this proves another dizzying feat of research. For those with discerning taste, there really is no alternative, and The Great Indie Discography presents exactly the sort of in-depth information they thrive on.
