Rock n Roll biographies - Best and worst?

[MrBen]

With big thanks to Jah Lush who has singlehandedly sorted my Christmas reading out for the next 12 years.

My pleasure Mr Ben. Enjoy.

Not very Rock'n'Roll but for me very interesting as;

a) Similar ages, area, backgrounds and influences in the 70s (so personally liked that bit)

b) a story of sudden/instant global fame

c) slide into addiction

Ladies and Gentelaman I give you.....

Boy George's - Take it Like a Man

[TillieTrotter]

One of the few I've read Quids and really enjoyed it.

I highly recommend Giles Smith Lost In Music

And so do lots of people on this Amazon website!

A shout-out for Jimmy McDonough's Neil Young biography "Shakey" - and look out later in the year for Neil's autobiography "Waging Heavy Peace".

Worst biography? Jerry Hopkins' and Danny Sugarman's hilariously OTT "No One Here Gets Out Alive": "My personal belief is that Jim Morrison was a god."
