Open this innovative book and you’ll find a comprehensive and fascinating study of the constant changes in line-ups, labels, looks and sounds of 250 of the best-known and most important rock bands of the last fifty years. Organised alphabetically for easy reference, these detailed articles provide information on band members, whatever their role, however brief or obscure it may be. Photographs of key members, past and present, complement the text. To make them easy to identify, the names of founding and current members are highlighted. Infographics in different colours provide an overview of every aspect of a band’s history, allowing you to see at a glance which musicians played which instruments at what time, when and on which label(s), and the release dates of their albums. Sales figures are provided for the major albums by the biggest bands. And for more than fifty of the leading bands, iconic photographs document their most striking changes in style, linking them to the albums from the corresponding period. You’ll also find an index of musicians. Listing all the musicians featured in this book, it allows you to trace the career of each band member. Comprehensive, informative and a fascinating read, *Le Dico du Rock* is the essential reference work for any rock music lover.
