"The fascinating story of the tensions between artistic and commercial aspirations throughout the history of rock music. Adam Caress grafts the vital and untold story of the rise and fall of the alternative music scene in the 1980s and 90s into a larger rock music narrative that spans half a century, shedding light on a number of crucial developments in rock and popular music which remain widely misunderstood, even as they continue to have far-reaching implications for the future of music creation, consumption, and criticism. With a scope that encompasses everything from Bob Dylan's arrival on the rock scene in the mid-1960s through to Spotify's recent attempts to establish a new model for music distribution. Adam Caress teaches in the Music Business program at Montreat College in Montreat, North Carolina"--Provided by publisher.
