[Alec Downie · Rating 3 out of 5]

Clearly well researched but a depressing read, if done without a break-

You also have to keep going to youtube to remind yourself of a lot of the bands so it will take a lot of commitment.

A fine reference book though, even if it stopped at 2005, which at my age is probably about right :)
