Description

Explore how canons shape our understanding of rock music culture in this scholarly examination from Routledge's Popular and Folk Music Series. Carys Wyn Jones investigates the complex mechanisms and values that define which rock works and artists achieve canonical status, drawing parallels with the established canons of Western literature and classical music. This book addresses the fundamental tension between the elitist nature of canons and their undeniable influence on how we evaluate and celebrate rock music. By analysing the reception of rock albums through the lens of canonical theory, the author reveals how cultural values, critical mechanisms, and artistic merit intertwine to create hierarchies within the rock genre. Essential reading for music scholars, critics, and enthusiasts seeking to understand the cultural forces that determine which albums endure and which fade from collective memory.
