Some of them drive me a little batty. I like the idea of reading about my favorite bands, but some of the bios are poorly written. I tried one about the Talking Heads recently and it was atrocious. I tried a few Dylan things, and they were tedious.
Regardless, here are some of my favorites. What are yours?
Our Band Could be Your Life by Michael Azerrad
S.T.P., a journey through America with The Rolling Stones by Robert Greenfield
Ascension : John Coltrane and his quest by Eric Nisenson
Grown up all wrong : 75 great rock and pop artists from vaudeville to techno by Robert Christgau
Mainlines, blood feasts, and bad taste : a Lester Bangs reader
Cinderella's big score : women of the punk and indie underground by Maria Raha
