For anyone who has ever gripped an imaginary microphone and belted out their favorite hit in front of the bathroom mirror, this invaluable work of rock'n'roll reference will make fascinating and rewarding reading.

Very decent. Concise biographies and discographies make it an attractive option before heading over to Wikipedia and Allmusic. Getting the 1990 consensus opinion instead of the current-day consensus opinion is also valuable.
A large selection of British and American artists. Very few, if any, from the rest of the world.
