I enjoyed Brad Carl's book about popular songs that have staying power. His treatment of some of the rock classics I grew up with was a great trip down memory lane.However, the difference in our ages was obvious from his selections. When I consider "classic rock," I'm thinking about Rush, Zepplin, and Z Z Top. Carl thinks of The Knack, The Ramones, and Billy Idol. Don't get me wrong. It's not all punk. There are plenty of great songs included, like Boston's "More Than a Feeling" and Aerosmith's "Sweet Emotion." There was just more of an 80's emphasis than a 70's catalog for my taste.Despite our disagreement with the best decade for rock, this book gives some great stories behind a lot of the great rock classics. If music was a big part of your younger days, you will enjoy this book.
Given For Review50 Songs From The 70s & 80s That Still Hold Up50 Songs From The 70s & 80s That Still Hold Up Kindle Edition by Brad Carl will have you reliving a special time of life. Brad Carl has done a great job with this book in choosing songs that are still great now as they were when they first were sung. Talk about reliving memories ... I loved it. Although I grew up with the 50's and 60's rock n roll sound, reading Brad's book was just as exciting. The songs he chose and the stories told were fantastic. This is something you need to add to your bookshelf or gift to someone who loves music. This book deserves more than 5 stars and I highly recommend it to everyone. Now, I wait for Brad's next book.
I loved this book, I have to admit I am a music junky, but anyone will enjoy this great read. The author takes you behind the scenes in an awesome look behind the music. A lot of the trivia facts were knew to me and the author did a wonderful job blending the facts into a story like tale. I was taken back in time with each song and felt myself singing the lyrics in my head as I read the background of the songs. Thanks to the author who uplifted my day with the memories I will always cherish of the songs from the 70's and 80's.
Excellent read. This book takes you back to artists, chart ranking and memories of days gone by. It has a prime place on my bookshelf.
