How The Beatles Destroyed Rock ‘n’ Roll : An Alternative History Of American Popular Music

  • How The Beatles Destroyed Rock 'n' Roll : An Alternative History Of American Popular Music

  • Attribution

    Elijah Wald

  • Publication Details

    Book, Oxford University Press, 2009

  • Description

    “There are no definitive histories,” writes Elijah Wald, in this provocative reassessment of American popular music, “because the past keeps looking different as the present changes.” Rather than concentrating on those traditionally favored styles, the book traces the evolution of popular music through developing tastes, trends and technologies–including the role of records, radio, jukeboxes and television –to give a fuller, more balanced account of the broad variety of music that captivated listeners over the course of the twentieth century. Written with verve and style, How the Beatles Destroyed Rock ‘n’ Roll shakes up our staid notions of music history and helps us hear American popular music with new ears.

Sounds Of The Metropolis : The Nineteenth-century Popular Music Revolution In London, New York, Paris, And Vienna

  • Attribution

    Derek B. Scott

  • Publication Details

    Book, Oxford University Press, 2008

  • Description

    The phrase “popular music revolution” may instantly bring to mind such twentieth-century musical movements as jazz and rock ‘n’ roll. Scott explains the popular music revolution as driven by social changes and the incorporation of music into a system of capitalist enterprise, which ultimately resulted in a polarization between musical entertainment (or “commercial” music) and “serious” art.
