iUniverse Announces the Release of Sounds Like Teen Spirit by Tim English
Bloomington, IN, April 25, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Sounds Like Teen Spirit Strikes Chord with Music Fans.
New Book Examines Link between Creative Influence, ‘Copycats.’
Music lovers everywhere will be fascinated by Sounds Like Teen Spirit: Stolen Melodies, Ripped-Off Riffs, and the Secret History of Rock and Roll. In this fun, fact-filled jam session of a book, pop music writer Timothy English combines well-known cases of music “copycats” with never-before-drawn similarities between some of the greatest songs of the 20th century.
Sounds Like Teen Spirit examines the close relationships between many rock and folk musicians in the mid-1960s and draws strong conclusions about influences that led to sameness in so many popular lyrics. An entire chapter is devoted to the music of the Beatles, the musicians who influenced them and the work of artists they in turn influenced. In his in-depth analysis, English explores the factors that created a strain of melodic monotony running throughout pop music history.
The musical vignettes within Sounds Like Teen Spirit offer a compelling look at the inevitable inter-relationship of musicians and the synchronicity of music creation itself.
More than an exciting read for music lovers everywhere, Sounds Like Teen Spirit is a well-constructed reference for any discussion of songs that sound perhaps just a little too much alike.
