Rock Criticism from the Beginning is a wide-ranging exploration of
the rise and development of rock criticism in Britain and the
United States from the 1960s to the present. It chronicles the
evolution of a new form of journalism, and the course by which
writing on rock was transformed into a respected field of cultural
production. The authors explore the establishment of magazines from
Crawdaddy! and Rolling Stone to The Source, and from Melody Maker
and New Musical Express to The Wire, while investigating the
careers of well-known music critics like Robert Christgau, Greil
Marcus, and Lester Bangs in the U.S., and Nik Cohn, Paul Morley,
and Jon Savage in the U.K., to name just a few. While much has been
written on the history of rock, this Bourdieu-inspired book is the
first to offer a look at the coming of age of rock journalism, and
the critics that opened up a whole new kind of discourse on popular
music.
