Rock critic Robert Christgau's obsessive ear and authoritative pen have covered it all-over 3,800 albums graded and classified, from A+s to his celebrated turkeys and duds. The Dean of American Rock Critics tackles the decade when music exploded.The '90s saw more albums produced and distributed than any other decade. A rich appendix section ensures that nothing's been left out-from "subjects for further research" to "everything rocks but nothing ever dies."
