Boo Yaka! Boo Yaka!
Welcome to the AK Music Book thread. This first post will serve as a table of contents (sort of), with links to navigate the thread more easily. I will be tabulating the suggestions as they come in, and when there's a few pages worth - I will summarize them into one post, and link it from here.
By all means, please share anything that you think is relevant... enjoy!!!
Members with 15 or more suggestions will be considered bookish enough to have their own link. I will of course keep their tallies updated as well...

The poppachubby Essential Reading List
If you want to have a clear (or clearer) understanding of how modern music came to be, these books will be for you. With a particular focus on early rock, I will try to share with you the books which paint a full picture. After reading even half just of these, your knowledge of music history will be superior - knowing the key people and places in modern music's development. You'll be the life of any party (not! Besides, how you gonna party having to read all of this??!!?)
Of course, there are plenty of other books on this topic so I encourage you to check em out. Then post your findings here!!
