With chapters devoted to legendary bands like Husker Du, Mission of Burma, Dinosaur Jr. and Sonic Youth, Michael Azeraad captures the cultural, political and sonic revolution that happened 1981-1991. The author got many major players in these bands to talk when they wouldn't talk to anyone else. Each chapter stands on its own as an independent narrative, and all are revealing and entertaining.

Re-reading the chapter on Husker Du... Now I just need to know how to find umlauts on the keyboard.

One of the best music books I've ever read.

Just started, but great sense of music & national history.

One of the best books detailing the 80s underground scene.

Finally picked up my own copy. An amazing book about the bwst generation of music ever!
