Product Information
Neil Young once said that rock and roll will never die, and indeed, rock music has played an enormous role in American culture ever since its beginnings in the 1950s. From early rock n' roll to the British Invasion, from the psychedelic era to the growth of corporate rock and the underground scene, from the video generation to the grunge and post-grunge years, rock music has been an undeniable force in both reflecting and shaping cultural trends in the United States. Each of the six volumes in this set provides both narrative chapters and helpful recommended resources for information about important performers, trends, and genres within these exciting periods in rock music history.

Reviews
"Two academics who worked for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and six music journalists produced this 1,700-page set. Each volume follows a common presentation: time line; chapters enhanced with black-and-white photographs and sidebars; an A-Z of Rock with brief descriptions of major artists, recordings, and events; appendixes listing significant recordings; reference guide; and index….[e]ach Greenwood volume serves as a useful introduction to its respective era. Recommended. Lower-/upper-division undergraduates; general readers." - Choice, "This six-volume set is an all-inclusive history of rock from its early days in the 1950's up through the decades to the grunge and post-grunge years, 1991-2005. It brings an understanding of rock music, and treats it as not just entertainment but as part of culture--how rock has shaped and been shaped by culture. The chapters in this set provide b&w photos, fact boxes, and narratives about musicians, writers, producers, trends, concerts, and much more....This set would be valuable for those doing research and appealing to those who are interested in reading about the history or rock. Recommended." Library Media Connection, "Each book's preface, introduction, and time line explain the scope of the text and set the stage for the thematic chapters that follow. The encyclopedic "A-Z of Rock" at the end of each volume contains brief biographical entries, information on record companies, and definitions of musical styles. Appendixes of the top-selling and most significant records of the period are included. Each title concludes with an extensive "Reference Guide" that lists related books, articles, Web sites, organizations, museums, events, films, and recordings, followed by a detailed index. Scattered throughout the texts are black-and-white portraits and shaded text boxes with information on influential musicians, musical styles, and more. In addition to being excellent reference tools, these volumes are so readable that libraries will want to consider circulating them. An outstanding set."- School Library Journal, "[E]ngagingly written, and the overall design of each volume is well thought out and easy to use. The photographs of the various performers and performing groups add a great touch. The timeline that opens each volume is very helpful in placing a specific group or movement in its wider historical conext. The glossary at the end of each volume provides brief descriptions of personalities, record labels, and important musical titles. The reference guide or bibliography in each volume is extensive. In addition, each volume's index is thorough and includes cross references....Because of its thoroughness and scholarly approach, The Greenwood Encyclopedia of Rock History is an indispensable set that should be placed in the collections of all public libraries and in academic libraries serving music programs."- Reference & User Services Quarterly, "By giving rock music the spotlight, the authors ultimately attain their goal of presenting an insider's view of the rock genre and its many forms. The set is a unique reference source and downright addictive in terms of browsing and should appeal to researchers, music historians, students, and, finally, the kids inside many of us who just like everything about rock music. Reading it reminds us that those kids are still alright." - Booklist/Reference Books Bulletin, "This six-volume set is an all-inclusive history of rock from its early days in the 1950's up through the decades to the grunge and post-grunge years, 1991-2005.

The approach is chronological with separately authored volumes, each spanning seven to 15 years….Each period survey begins with a timeline of the decade and concludes with a guide to additional resources including books, films and Web sites.
