Never a Dull Moment: 1971 — The Year That Rock Exploded

Recommended by Colin Lukens, senior repository manager, Office for Scholarly Communication

David Hepworth explores popular music and musicians from 1971, positioning that year as the zenith of album-based rock and when the genre became self-aware. Funny, a bit gossipy, well-researched, and beautifully organized, Hepworth is a peerless historian of rock and roll’s adolescent period. Added bonus: It will inspire your playlist for the entire summer!
