This thoroughly revised second edition of Allan Moore's
ground-breaking book features new sections on melody, Britpop,
authenticity, intertextuality, and an extended discussion of
texture. Rock's 'primary text' - its sounds - is the focus of
attention here. Allan Moore argues for the development of a
musicology particular to rock within the context of the background
to the genres, the beat and rhythm and blues styles of the early
1960s, 'progressive' rock and subsequent styles. He also explores
the fundamental issue of rock as a medium for self-expression, and
the relationship of this to changing musical styles. Rock: The
Primary Text remains innovative in its exploration of an aesthetics
of rock.
