"Valuable for its inclusion of some of the genre's most important
songs... This would be a handy reference source for anyone
interested in rock music history... Ideally suited for college,
public, and high-school libraries... Libraries in which the first
edition was well used will certainly want to update." --

Pollock's thoughtful selection and knowledgeable comments should
engage serious students of rock... Recommended. Large popular music
collections." -- Choice
"Complementing Billboard's American Rock 'n' Roll inReview (1997)
and The Rock and Roll Reader's Guide (1997), this would be a handy
reference source for anyone interested in rock music history and is
ideally suited for college, public, and high-school libraries.
Libraries in which the first edition was well used will certainly
want to update." -- Diane Kirby, Booklist
"Recommended. Large popular music collections serving lower-level
undergraduates and general readers." -- W. M. Gargan , Brooklyn
College, CUNY, Choice
"What Pollock has to offer is his understanding of connections, and
this would be displayed much more effectively if he picked his top
250 or 500 rock songs and wrote a more detailed discussion of
each." -- American Reference Books Annual
