Music can shock and soothe, amuse and appall, but above all move the listener. In more than 30 essays and features, a variety of writers, critics, and musicians explore those songs that made a difference to their lives, to society, and to music history itself. Illustrated throughout with full-color posters, album covers, and photographs, the book is organized by theme and features informative sidebars. Sampling everything from folk songs to fugues, hip-hop to hymns, Time Out 1000 Songs to Change Your Life includes musician interviews and complete discographical details.


Although I'm usually reluctant to trust anything that comes in list form I decided to give this a try and I'm glad I did. The variety of opinion is provided by several writers and, although you won't agree with everything, it's interesting to have so many points of view. It is also a very good way to find music you've never heard before.
