Description

Explore the complex world of musical excellence with The Rock Canon: Canonical Values in the Reception of Rock Albums. Part of the Ashgate Popular and Folk Music Series, this book examines how certain rock albums become recognized as the greatest in their field. While the concept of a canon is often seen as a simple list of top artists, Carys Wyn Jones reveals the complicated web of values and mechanisms that shape these selections. This study looks at how the idea of the canon can be elitist and how it has faced conflict and uncertainty over the last thirty years. The author investigates how values, terms, and mechanisms from the canons of Western literature and classical music are reflected in the reception of rock music. It is an essential read for anyone interested in the cultural impact of rock music and the social structures that define what we consider to be musical masterpieces.
