Sex and Gender in Pop/Rock Music is a multidisciplinary study of Anglo-American rock and pop music over the last six decades. Following the 1960s' sexual revolution, and helped by the advent of the birth control pill, rock and pop has continued to map the societal understanding of sexuality, feminism, and gender studies. Although scholarship has well established how early rock and roll encouraged and affected issues of sex in the baby boomers' generation, this book asks how subsequent pop music has maintained that tradition. The text discusses the gendered performances and biographical experiences of individual musicians, including Prince, Beyonce, Bruce Springsteen, Frank Zappa, and Patti Smith, and how their invented personae contribute to musical representations of sexuality. It evaluates lyric structure and symbolic language of these artists, and overall emphasizes how pop music, while a commodity art form, reflects the diversity of human sex and gender.

A comprehensive introduction to the inner workings of rock music,
The Foundations of Rock goes back to the heart of the music itself
from the time of its birth through the end of classic rock. Walter
Everett expertly takes readers through all aspects of the music and
its lyrics, leading fans and listeners to new insights and new ways
to develop their own interpretations of the aural landscapes of
their lives. Written with style, Everett does not depend on musical
notation nor professional jargon, but rather combines text with
nearly 300 newly written audio examples (performed on the companion
website) and more than 100 expertly chosen photographs, to offer a
rich text-and-web experience that brings new meanings to songs that
have dominated music for a half-century.
