[Jeff]

A detailed log of the who-what-where of the punk era.
I can beat anyone at music trivia thanks to these books.

I re-read this book every so often, just to remind myself why I love punk music so much. It's fun to see the history of various bands and read about famous gigs. This book is popular with friends and past roommates, too. I actually had my first copy of this book stolen out of my house several years ago and my boyfriend surprised me with a replacement copy for my birthday a few years ago. The CD that comes with the book is kind of questionable,as it's mostly got snippets of songs and brief interviews, along with songs by current punk bands, but the book is fairly comprehensive and as I said before, a fun and quick read.

Fairly good reference, derived from listings in magazines. Not 100% accurate.
