"His aim is true" Greil Marcus
For more than a decade, readers of New York magazine and its Vulture website have been delightedand occasionally outragedby Bill Wyman's exhaustive and unapologetically opinionated rankings of the songs of some of the greatest artists in rock and pop history.
Now, for the first time, those acclaimed rankings are collected in one volume. Covering everyone from the Beatles and Michael Jackson to the Eagles, Nirvana, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and every artist in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Wyman doesn't just rank the songs. He uncovers forgotten stories, reveals surprising financial and personal details, and places the music in the context of its era. The result is a fascinating journey through hundreds of songs and decades of rock historypacked with sharp insights, unexpected discoveries, and plenty of fodder for arguments.
"This is a collection of smart, pithy, exhaustive, and exquisitely well-written mini-critiques of some of popular music's best-known songs, with literally thousands of observations along the way to tickle youand, yeah, maybe piss you off just a bit." Jim DeRogatis
Written with Wyman's trademark wit, skepticism, and sparkling prose, these essays are as entertaining as they are informative. As you settle old debates, discover overlooked gems, or simply lose yourself in the history of popular music, you'll find yourself reading "just one more ranking."
"in addition to being subtle and deep, Wyman's lists are: FUN." Stephen Metcalf, Slate
