loved the music since it came into being will gain valuable insight
into this genre of the 1970s and 1980s. Listen to New Wave Rock!:
Exploring a Musical Genre contains background on new wave music in
general, with an overview and history of new wave rock in
particular. While the bulk of the book is devoted to analysis of 50
must-hear musical examples, which include artists, songs, and
albums, the book also explores how this genre of the late 1970s and

genre influenced later generations of artists. Additional chapters

the legacy of new wave music, including how the music is still used
today in film and television soundtracks and in television
commercials. The combination of detailed examination of specific
artists, songs, and albums and discussion of background, legacy,
and impact distinguish this book from others on the subject and
make it a vital reference and interesting read for both students
