Rip It Up and Start Again: Post-Punk 1978-1984 by Simon Reynolds

by Alison Neale

[21.Oct.05] :. Focusing primarily on British and American music between 1978 and 1984, Reynolds emphasizes the idea that the glossed-over post-punk years were not marginal to the history of rock: they actually spawned a range of sounds that were more revolutionary than punk itself and that left a far more significant legacy, laying the foundations for the subsequent emergence of alternative music in all its myriad forms.
