Yeah I mean I mostly listen to indie rock, hardcore and metal so most all of Ed’s music was foreign to me, but rock is always so iterative (cue Nirvana’s cover of Ledbelly, always)
I’m really enjoying this! Reminds me of Ed Ward’s “The History of Rock and Roll” but in a very condensed, fun version (Ed is fun, but he’s thorough). As you said in the last sentence, the Beatles and Stones are going to absolutely blow this open, and that’s basically why Ed stops his Volume 1 history at 1963.
oh cool. not familiar with that series, ill check it out! mostly im excited to get to the smooth-brained chain wallet era of riffs, but it seemed like a nice way to dive back a bit further too.
