The Best Music You've Never Heard (Rough Guide Reference)

The Rough Guide to the Best Music You've Never Heard is a winning collection of amazing stories of tragic mavericks and unlucky contenders, highlighting hundreds of lost classics and hidden gems.

The guide traces the musicians who fell by the wayside; from the bands that could have been The Beatles to the acts that were better than the acts that made it. Find out why David Ackles is the Elton John that never was (and why Elton John agrees). Clue-up on the infamous lost albums from some of rock's biggest stars and discover the tales of the side-projects by famous artists that got away, not to mention the cult albums reviled at the time they were released... that are actually really good.

Frank and opinionated, the guide is packed with playlists, includes stylish archive photos as well as contributions from music industry insiders including Bat for Lashes. If you're looking for great new music, this book will show it to you. If you think you've heard it all, it'll put you to the test.
