[kj] Rip It Up And Start Again (Book)

I liked it.  As usual the British are lauded as inventing another genre of music (post-punk because of PiL) which is debatable and depends on who you ask.  But it was well written and researched.

He covers acts that have been largely ignored elsewhere, and has certainly pointed me in the direction of some decent music. I don't agree with all of his conclusions or his ideas, but it's an excellent read and likely to be the only one of it's kind.
