The rough guide to cult pop - Paul Simpson

The Rough Guide to Cult Pop is devoted to pop music, the tacky, catchy yet enduring music we grew up listening to when we should have been listening to something more profound. The Rough Guide celebrates the hits, the singers, the impresarios, and the songs which have made up the soundtrack to our lives. The Rough Guide provides an entertaining look at the artists from Britney to Blue, and the Number One hits, from Billy Jean to Billy Don't be a Hero. It provides the stories behind the chart-toppers and all the key chart statistics. The decades of pop are broken down to genres, complete with recommended discographies of the best, and the weirdest.
