Worlds Greatest Bands Books - The Kinks, The Who, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd
These illustrated hardback books provide an insight into the unique journeys of four of the greatest bands of all time
Follow the authoritative text charting a nostalgia-packed journey from when the band was formed in Muswell Hill North London, by Ray Davies and Pete Quaife in 1964.
Includes extensive interviews with former band members.
The book also includes rare photographs and a review of every Kinks album from 1964 with complete track by track analysis.
With hits such as Lola, Waterloo Sunset, You Really Got Me and Dedicated Follower of Fashion. This is the story of a band that became a global phenomenon. The Who - Their Generation take you on the journey with the band as they conquered the world: from small London clubs to Madison Square Gardens, from seven-inch vinyl releases to multimillion-selling albums, all the way to recognition as global rock gods.
The stories behind the music with an album by album analysis and accompanied by images from many of the most well known contemporary rock photographers gives a unique insight into one of the most influential groups in the history of rock music. This illustrated hardback book provides an insight into the unique journey of the English rock band Led Zeppelin formed in London in 1968.
Follow the origins of the band consisting of guitarist Jimmy Page, singer Robert Plant, bassist and keyboardist John Paul Jones, and drummer John Bonham.
This book features a complete history of the band plus a track-by-track analysis of every studio album Led Zeppelin recorded, along with the transcripts of journalist Steven Rosen’s interviews with Page, Plant and Jones while he accompanied Led Zeppelin aboard the famous Starship Airliner during the 1977 US Tour. Credited with spearheading innovative musical experimentation, with being pioneers of live performance by delivering lavish spectaculars. Pink Floyd and their music were inseparable from the swinging sixties and edgy seventies.
Their excursions into psychedelic and progressive rock often earned them scathing comments, but undeterred they veered off the predictable pop music paths into unknown territory, and by doing so, they influenced the progress of rock music like no other band.
Initially propelled by the brilliance of Syd Barrett’s troubled mind, later by Roger Waters’ strong character and his lyrics marbled with social commentary, and then finally guided by David Gilmour and his unique playing. Pink Floyd have traversed a fifty year arc pitted with musical fearlessness, drugs, arguments, success and bitter disappointment.
