Punk: The Definitive Record of a Revolution

Re-creating the complete story of the Punk phenomenon?including where it came from and what it turned into?Punk is a massive and visually stunning record of five years that changed the world: 1975-1979. Collecting the testimony of more than 260 artists, record producers, designers, and journalists?including John Cale, Debbie Harry, Joe Strummer, Maureen Tucker, Gerard Malanga, Lou Reed, Johnny Rotten, Danny Fields, Legs McNeil, Bob Gruen, David Byrne, Iggy Pop, Tommy Ramone, William S. Burroughs, Terry Southern, Cherry Vanilla, and Malcolm McLaren, former manager and ringleader of the Sex Pistols?most published here for the first time, Punk brings to life the profound effect Punk music had on global popular culture. With reverberations in style, fashion, attitude, and philosophy, the birth of Punk music released the greatest shockwaves in the popular culture since The Beatles. Punk tells the story through the words of the people who were closely tied to the mania and through hundreds of contemporaneous color and black-and-white photographs. As Andy Warhol said, "We all knew something was happening. We just felt it." "In 1976 we were the most hated people on the planet ? we thought that was great."?Siouxsie

Fair and balanced?

A flashy compendium, but way lopsided. It's so Pistols heavy it about topples off my coffee table. Not that I really have one. It's always great to see the Pistols, but how many pages do the Clash get? About 2. This is the kind of book...

As other reviews have asserted, this book is heavy on Sex Pistols and associated content from the British Punk scene. However, it completely ignores vast amounts of punk history by ignoring what was going on with Punk music in other...

The dust jacket of this book would have you believing it's a retrospective of all the great bands of the punk rebellion, but so many greats are overlooked or just not mentioned, even if one were content to look at the UK only, PLUS the...
