[Doug Schrashun · Rating 5 out of 5]

What did I read in High School? Um...well I'm pretty sure I read this. And some other stuff. But mainly this. Pretty much everything about this book is irrelevant other than the fact that it exists. If there wasn't an internet this thing would be like a bible to a very many people.

One of the best rock music encyclopedias out there. I own a copy and always find myself reading and rereading it. I hope a new edition comes out soon.
