Download or read book Our Band Could Be Your Life written by Michael Azerrad and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2012-12-01 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive chronicle of underground music in the 1980s tells the stories of Black Flag, Sonic Youth, The Replacements, and other seminal bands whose DIY revolution changed American music forever. Our Band Could Be Your Life is the never-before-told story of the musical revolution that happened right under the nose of the Reagan Eighties -- when a small but sprawling network of bands, labels, fanzines, radio stations, and other subversives re-energized American rock with punk's do-it-yourself credo and created music that was deeply personal, often brilliant, always challenging, and immensely influential. This sweeping chronicle of music, politics, drugs, fear, loathing, and faith is an indie rock classic in its own right. The bands profiled include: Sonic Youth Black Flag The Replacements Minutemen Husker Du Minor Threat Mission of Burma Butthole Surfers Big Black Fugazi Mudhoney Beat Happening Dinosaur Jr.

Download or read book Music of the 1980s written by Thomas Harrison and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2011-06-16 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beyond coverage of mainstream 80s music, such as "hair band" hard rock, pop, new wave, and rap, this compilation of essential musical artists also covers genres like classical, jazz, outlaw country, and music theater. Popular music in the United States during the 1980s is well known for imports from abroad, such as A-ha, Def Leppard, Falco, and Men at Work, as well as homegrown American rock acts such as Guns 'N Roses, Huey Lewis and the News, Bon Jovi, and Poison. But there were many other types of genres of music that never received airplay on the radio or MTV that also experienced significant evolutions or growth in that decade. Music of the 1980s examines the key artists in specific genres of popular music: pop, hard rock/heavy metal, rock, and country. No other reference book for students has previously explored the surprisingly diverse categories of hard rock and heavy metal music with such detail and depth. Additionally, a chapter focuses on the prominent artists and composers of less-mainstream genres for specialized audiences, including music theater, jazz, and classical music.

Living into one’s eighties doesn’t have to mean declining health and loneliness: Dr. Esty shows readers how to embrace—and thrive during—the later stages of life. Based on her more than 120 interviews around the country, Esty explores the lives of ordinary eightysomethings—their attitudes, activities, secrets, worries, purposes, and joys.

Download or read book 101 Forgotten Pop Hits of the 1980s written by Nick Parkhouse and published by Authorhouse UK. This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1980s was a memorable decade for music. Many of the biggest hits from the era are now regarded as modern standards, played at weddings, parties and on radio stations the world over. Whilst the decade threw up some of the most iconic artists and well-recognised songs in music history, it also produced hundreds of hidden gems; songs which were big hits at the time but have not enjoyed the same level of radio airplay and exposure over the last quarter of a century. 101 Forgotten Pop Hits of the 1980s aims to remedy this and to jog the nation's memory about all those fantastic pop records of the decade that have been criminally sidelined through the passing of time. With twelve number One singles and over eighty further top Ten hits included, this book champions those silver and gold selling records, none of which are obscure and all of which deserve their place in the 1980's Pop Hall of Fame. From sharing cigarettes with Johnny Hates Jazz in the car park of the NEC to appearing on the same bill as Tony Hadley, Nick Parkhouse spent two years meeting and interviewing the artists, performers, musicians, writers and producers that shaped the pop landscape of the decade. 101 Forgotten Pop Hits of the 1980s is the definitive guide to the great music that inspired a generation.
Download or read book Shiny and New written by Dylan Jones and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2021-07-08 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Eighties were about big ideas writ large - new money, new style, gender fluidity, gay pride, attritional politics, the 'special relationship', nuclear fear, AIDS, cocaine, ecstasy, tabloid royalty, the rise of urban pop, and ultimately geopolitical chaos. Using a big narrative approach, Dylan Jones' history of the decade in pop frames the decade through some of its most important and popular hits, choosing records which either epitomised their time, or ushered in a new cultural shift. So we move seamlessly from Rapper's Delight and the genre defining moment of hip hop into The Specials' spectral, Ghost Town; from ABC and the apotheosis of New Pop (The Look of Love) to Madonna's breakthrough moment with Like a Virgin, and so on. In the '80s each year brought a new twist as technology shifted and genres snowballed, MTV reigned supreme and the story of pop became globalised. It was a decade of excess in all areas, especially ambition, but it was in the transcendent moments of pop perfection that the '80s found its true art-form. Subjective and idiosyncratic, SHINY AND NEW takes us from downtown New York to post-industrial Manchester, in the first widescreen attempt to weave together the stories, the songs and events that re-shaped music and society.
