Info Rock

Klappentext

The electrifying story of rock music comes alive through infographics, facts, and figures. This unique history of rock tells the musical story in a new way: through infographics that illustrate the evolution, influences, and connections between different genres---such as blues, pop, punk, progressive, and heavy metal. For each artist, including The Beatles, Dylan, Janis Joplin, Springsteen, Bowie, the Ramones, Amy Winehouse, and Nirvana, the powerful visual representation gives at-a-glance information on how many records sold, how much money was made, how long a record stayed on the charts, how many days was required to record a disc, how many followers on Twitter, and so much more---plus a timeline of the artist's career. Full-page photographs and introductory text round out this fascinating volume.
