Shuker, Roy. Popular Music : The Key Concepts. 2nd ed. Abingdon: Routledge, 2005. Print.
Roy Shukers Popular Music: The Key Concepts focuses on the terms and concepts that are involved in popular music. Along with the terms and concepts of the impact the internet and reality television programs have on popular music are also explored. This book covers musical scenes and subcultures to musical phenomena and tribute bands.
This book (eBook) differs from all above mentioned sources. It served to me as a glossary of all the significant popular music terms. This is different to the other sources used because, opposed to the other sources that shed light on semiotic and cultural values or other examples of scene this provides details on the elements of popular music.
Shuker’s Popular Music: The Key Concepts has been a key reading throughout Musc2000 in providing clear concise definitions of the key terms involved with popular music. The information the book provides will be a key component in assisting in making my final essay comprehensible. This text provided the most concise explanations of scene, locality and information on ‘Seattle Scene’ which I consider to be valuable knowledge for the next essay.
