Music˸ What Happened?

the long version

[Scott Miller][1] has released more than a dozen albums with his bands [Game Theory][2] and the [Loud Family][3], and his music has been described as "a cross between Alex Chilton, James Joyce, and the Electric Prunes" (*Stereo Review*) and "smart, funny, and instantly memorable" (*Rolling Stone*). In this book, Miller writes about each of the past 53 years in popular music (1957-2009) via countdown song lists, blending the perspectives of a serious musician, a thoughtful critic, and an all-devouring music fan. Miller not only tells you why he loves particular songs, but also what was going on in the musical world in which they competed to be heard.
