Rezensionen / Stimmen
"With more than 600 images and contributions from music's leading names, including journalists, historians, musicians and radio personalities, 501 Essential Albums of the '90s spans multiple genres, subgenres and everything in-between - from the top-sellers to little-known hidden gems." * Detroit Jewish News * "501 Essential Albums of the 90s does offer a response to those who may look back and think this decade sparked a decline in music - it casts a wide net beyond the hits of the charts and takes a thoughtful snapshot across the decade that captured significant political and social change. You can dip in and out of this book and be entertained, perplexed (so many names were lauded and have now got lost in the mists of time, and inspired." -- Louise Penn * Lou Reviews * "You'll flip through the pages getting irked by the exclusions but pleased when one of your favorites appears. Which is exactly how a book like this should make you feel." -- Gillian Gaar * Goldmine *
