i was going to ask about the Nirvana book. also, isn’t the Motley Crüe book supposed to be really good? i don’t read so I don’t have much to contribute to this.

Whoa! Where is Please Kill Me? The definitive punk book! And no Lester Bangs? There is no rock criticism without that guy. Shame on you Raygun

Mr Rice, I’ve had that one on my to-read list for some time now but haven’t gotten around to reading it.

I read Azerrad’s book about Nirvana (Come As Your Are) and really enjoyed it. Now that I think of it, his Nirvana book probably should have snuck onto this list somewhere. Curses!

Great picks! One of my personal favorites would be Our Band Could Be Your Life by Michael Azerrad. It documents the careers (with band interviews!) of Black Flag, Minutemen, Minor Threat, Mission of Burma, Husker Du, The Replacements, Sonic Youth, Butthole Surfers, Big Black, Dinosaur Jr., Fugazi, Mudhoney, and Beat Happening.

It’s a great read for anyone who is a fan of this music.
