Awesome

This title is just awesome, not just point of view, but History. You'll learn, and you'll love it. Very well written, produced and a must for all us music lovers. (Specially us, Alt Rock Genration)

Nice vingettes

Short-and-sweet retellings of the histories of some important 90s alternative rock bands. Never quite achieves a "bigger picture," and focuses a bit too much on the American side of the pond.

Behind the Alternative Music

Alan Cross does a wonderfull job at explaining why you should want to know the stories contained in the 3 volumes of this series. I found myself listening to several stories again as well as playing them for friends.

This book series is a must for anyone who loves alternative music.
