The people's songs : the story of modern Britain in 50 songs

Maconie, Stuart2014
Books, Manuscripts
In 'The People's Songs', Stuart Maconie argues that what we call pop music has a defiant, unsanctioned concept at its heart: the ability to speak to people, to affect people, to transform their lives. This book tells the story of modern Britain via the records that soundtracked this dramatic and kaleidoscopic period. The story is told chronologically over 50 chapters. At the heart of each is one emblematic song that is discussed fully.
