Rock n Roll Years

Summary: Dig it!
Review: Great photos all and many I had never seen. As all good photos should, each tells complex story. I found myself lingering over most of them. Great editing and photo selections - young Rolling Stones, smiling Jimi Hendrix, a very colorful Madonna after several pages of black and white shots. Dig it.

Thankfully, the book didn't impose any arbitrary order - no chronological or geographical or other organization. This helped my enjoyment - somehow the Sex Pistols followed by Bruce Springsteen makes the book better than if the photos were forced into categories.

The book also made me a bit sad - so many of the musicians are dead - Keith Moon, Zappa, Hendrix, John Lennon, Brian Jones, Freddie Murcury, Sonny Bono and more... Fortunately their artistic and photographic record exists.
