Christgau's Record Guide
The '80s
Paperback, 1990, Pantheon Books, ISBN 0-679-73015-X, 514 pages
From back cover (original edition):
Robert Christgau has earned his place as America's foremost rock
critic by distilling enthusiastic nonstop listening into incisive,
knowledgeable, sometimes hilarious judgments.
Christgau's guide to the records of the 1980s, the first and only book
to survey the decade's popular music, reviews and letter-grades some
3,000 albums. His search for exciting music is wide-ranging, not just
what is narrowly defined as "rock,", but also pop, country, rap,
blues, rock-related jazz, and the panoply of world musics, especially
reggae and African genres.
