| Rock Music Styles: A History | 2003 | Charlton, Katherine | The "Major Trends of the Eighties and Nineties" chapter (ostensibly the alternative rock chapter) is one of the less informative chapters in this rock music textbook (the gothic rock section in the chapter is pretty decent, though), but the book provides brief yet highly useful musical studies of the structure, instrumentation, and lyrics of select songs. The alt-rock songs dissected in this chapter are: "Radio Free Europe" by R.E.M., "Everyday Is Like Sunday" by Morrissey, "Wasteland" by The Mission, "Could You Be the One?" by Hüsker Dü, "Stigmata" by Ministry, and "Doll Parts" by Hole. | User:WesleyDodds | |
