While each main entry profiles and illustrates 1,001 primary songs, it places that song into a contextual web of music history with references to other songs that are musically related. Thus, each entry points to alternate versions, covers, riffs, and influences effectively expanding the total number to 10,000.

  • I enjoy the book and look for music I don't have

    I may not agree with the number of songs selected post 1980 but I will go outside my comfort zone and check out some of the songs in the book. I kind of dropped out of mainstream music sometime early to mid 80's so I definitely have a bias for music before that. Don't get me wrong I do have a number of the songs mentioned from the 80's on, so I'm not completely closed-minded about music. If I would had been consulted I would have included more in the earlier part of the book, IMHO there were quite a few great songs that were omitted.
