Title: My highest recommendation
Review: I recently heard Brent Mann interviewed on the radio here in Chicago and he was really informative, insightful and funny, as is his book. Several highlights for me from this book: 1. The section on Peter Gabriel's classic "Solsbury Hill" -- terrific analysis. 2. "Any Major Dude" by Steely Dan -- cool little essay containing inside information I never knew about one of my favorite tunes.I read Brent Mann's other book "99 Red Balloons" all about one-hit wonders, and it was really good, but I think "Blinded by the Lyrics" is even better.As for the reviewer who complained about Mann confusing the Sex Pistols with the Clash, in the context of a book that contains literally thousands of facts, that is so minor and inconsequential as to not even be worth mentioning.
