This book celebrates its quarter-century on the planet with an authoritative but lively account of its development from 1955, when it was merely an offshoot of rhythm and blues, through the myriad styles of the fifties, sixties and seventies (among them rock 'n' roll, folk rock, soul music, punk rock and disco) to the widely different forms of today.
