terrific book about pop music

[Jerome]

And for those who like to delve into the ambient/instrumental/unusual side of music, 'The Ambient Century' is a good starting point, but be warned, it's not an easy read. If you are looking for a story book about this style of music this is not it. It's more of a reference than a tale. But it is very informative when it comes to this genre. And you would be surprised as to which artists are described as 'ambient'. Starting with The Beatles no less.
