What was the relationship between working-class youths and popular
music between the years 1955-1976? Drawing on archival sources and
oral testimony, Keith Gildart examines the ways in which popular
music played an important role in reflecting and shaping social
identities and working-class cultures and - through a focus on rock
'n' roll, rhythm and blues, punk, the mod subculture, and the many
worlds of glam rock - created a sense of crisis in English society.
Complemented by a critical reading of the songs, performances and
impact of influential and emblematic musicians including Georgie
Fame, The Beatles, Pete Townshend, Ray Davies, David Bowie and the
Sex Pistols, Gildart brings together an investigation of particular
localities, scenes, genres and individual and collective
experiences and forms a critique of recent revisionist histories of
popular music and youth culture.
