Synopsis

Did you know that the Rolling Stones were originally called The Brian Jones Blues Band? That both U2 and DJ Casey Kasem took legal action against a small San Francisco bay-area band to keep a record from coming out? That Bachman-Turner Overdrive’s only number-one hit was an accident? That TV game show host Chuck Woolery was in a band that had a Top 40 hit in 1968? That 1930s movie sexpot Mae West recorded a version of the Beatles’ “Day Tripper”? That the Bee Gees were found guilty in court of plagiarism?

Containing twenty-five lists of groups with the oddest names, haircuts, deaths, and hit songs, Rock and Roll's Most Wanted™ will inform and entertain both longtime rock devotees and relative neophytes.
