You've Never Heard Your Favorite Song: 100 Deep Cuts to Make Your World Sound Better

by Matt Doucet

"Doucet takes a refreshingly genre-free approach, careening from heady dub reggae to pastoral folk-rock, from unreal disco workouts to mind-bending electronica. His enthusiasm is such that you'll be stopping on every page to track down the songs being discussed." -- Aquarium Drunkard

Let go of your musical biases and dive into the deep cuts that are what music is really about with You’ve Never Heard Your Favorite Song. From underground musicians to passed-over classics, your favorite song is out there waiting for you, you just need to go find it. Relearn what makes a song great and set those played out pop tunes on the back burner once and for all. The latest edition in the Curio series, this pocket-sized book is perfect for referencing on the go. So get reading to find out why you might not even know your favorite song yet, and why you should keep your musical mind open.

"You've Never Heard Your Favorite Song holds an immeasurable amount of unfettered love, passion and knowledge about what I've long considered to be one of the world's only truly universal languages: music." -- Portland Press Herald

I'm giving this a 5 star although it feels weird to do that compared to some of the great masterpieces of literary fiction I've rated 4 stars earlier, but this book has really widened my musical taste more than I thought it would. I read a great review of it and decided I'd try and see for myself. I found some great songs and albums that had completely missed my radar, together with some of my already favorite songs, so this book is a real treasure trove for an open minded music fan. It's only one man's taste, but he knows his music. I wish there were more books in a series from other writers as well, as this could have been an ongoing thing with even more music to be discovered!
