Title: No mention of key bands
Review: You can not have a book about rock and Politics without including the political bands of the late '70's and early '80's.Especially of note were the Gang of Four, probably the most political band of its time. Another band that also is not mentioned are The Dead Kennedy's, a band with radical politics and lyrics. These are just two of many bands that had solid political insights and used them to produce some of the most political music ever heard. It's quite a shame really, if the author had retitled his book to be be "Mainstream Rock and Politics" then maybe he could act as if these other musicians never existed.
Is the review positive or negative?
