"[Stanley is] as clear-eyed about music as he is crazy in love with it." āMikael Wood, Los Angeles Times
A monumental work of musical history, Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! traces the story of pop music through songs, bands, musical scenes, and styles from Bill Haley and the Cometsā āRock around the Clockā (1954) to BeyoncĆ©ās first megahit, āCrazy in Loveā (2003). Bob Stanleyāhimself a musician, music critic, and fanāteases out the connections and tensions that animated the pop charts for decades, and ranges across the birth of rock, soul, R&B, punk, hip hop, indie, house, techno, and more. Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! is a vital guide to the rich soundtrack of the second half of the twentieth century and a book as much fun to argue with as to quote.
