Pieces on one-hundred lesser-known songs that are seldom-spoken-of classics, often overlooked in favour of more well-known canonical tracks.
About the author
Matthew Doucet is a writer and editor who lives on the coast of Maine. He spends his time trawling the internet for music and arguing with friends about things they don't know all that much about. He is also the author of You've Never Heard Your Favorite Song and How to Talk Like You Know What You're Talking About.
Summary
"Doucet takes a refreshingly genre-free approach, careening from heady dub reggae to pastoral folk-rock, from unreal disco workouts to mind-bending electronica. His enthusiasm is such that you'll be stopping on every page to track down the songs being discussed." -- Aquarium Drunkard
