Rock on: The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Rock N' Roll : The Video Revolution 1978-Present (Vol 3)

From Library Journal\nThe third volume of Rock On picks where the second left off, taking us to the present. Like the previous volumes, this is a biographical dictionary of artists who have had hit singles on the national charts. Most of them are rock artists, but many other styles are also represented, and Nite is admirably even-handed in this treatment of them all. The tone is casual, but the research is thorough, and Nite delights in mentioning interesting bits of trivia. This volume unfortunately continues the practice of giving discographic information only on singles; a complete listing of album releases would be helpful. An index of song titles is also included (not seen). Most libraries with popular music collections already own the two previous installments; they will want this one as well. Mark H.
