Summary

 

Roni Sarig: The Secret History of Rock

Encyclopedia of the most influential performers you've hardly heard of

An important part of rock history was created by groups that were once poorly known (and even less so today), and who, despite this, defined the music we listen to today to a certain extent. The story of these groups is the essence of the Secret History of Rock. The reason I wrote The Secret History of Rock is to highlight those groups, composers and performers whose influence on contemporary music far exceeds their commercial impact.
Roni Sarig

I wish I could have grown up with a book like this.
Eddie Vedder, Pearl Jam

How to describe the strangeness of meeting John Cage for the first time? How do you describe the exhilaration of listening to the MC5 or the Stooges for the first time? Now how to describe the feeling when you are on stage, and from the end you are illuminated by the golden smile of Poison Ivy and the equally golden tooth of Lux Interior? Or how to explain to someone the pleasure of their intelligent play with iconography? What to say about the overwhelming melancholy of Nick Drake? Or about a pleasant afternoon spent listening to the sounds of Lee Perry and King Tubby? Television, Richard Hell & The Voidoids, Birthday Party, Public Image Limited, Gang Of Four, Dead Kennedys… all those names bring a smile to my face. And although some others that have not been mentioned come to mind right now, this book is definitely a good start to exploring the vastness that extends below the visible surface of the music industry.
from the foreword by Lada Furlan, Bambi Molesters
