From Library Journal:
Despite some drawbacks, the 1982 edition of this book was considered "essential to rock reference collections" (LJ 10/1/82). The 1996 edition is equally well produced, melding the author's generally stringent selection criteria with a well-written text. There is no attempt to be all-encompassing; rather, Helander focuses on the most innovative, avant-garde, and influential individuals?no Pat Boone or Fabian here, folks. Entries are cogently written and never effusive, with a comprehensive discography included for each. When one is tempted to question an entry (e.g., ABBA), Helander successfully defends its inclusion (if not necessarily the music itself). The A-Z format is buttressed by excellent indexing, with all entries boldfaced. While far more formal, not as much fun, and a heck of a lot pricier than the DK Encyclopedia of Rock Stars (LJ 2/1/97), this rock music reference tool belongs in every library that can afford it.?David M. Turkalo, Suffolk Univ. Law Sch. Lib., Boston
