Simon Frith has been one of the most important figures in the
emergence and subsequent development of popular music studies. From
his earliest academic publication, The Sociology of Rock (1978),
through to his recent work on the live music industry in the UK, in
his desire to 'take popular music seriously' he has probably been
cited more than any other author in the field. Uniquely, he has
combined this work with a lengthy career as a music critic for
leading publications on both sides of the Atlantic. The
contributions to this volume of essays and memoirs seek to honour
Frith's achievements, but they are not merely 'about Frith'.
Rather, they are important interventions by leading scholars in the
field, including Robert Christgau, Antoine Hennion, Peter J. Martin
and Philip Tagg. The focus on 'sociology and industry' and
'aesthetics and values' reflect major themes in Frith's own work,
which can also be found within popular music studies more
generally. As such the volume will become an essential resource for
those working in popular music studies, as well as in musicology,
sociology and cultural and media studies.
