review:
'Music Legends: Meet 40 pop and rock stars' by Herve Guilleminot with illustrations by Jerome Masi is a collection of 40 different pop and rock stars in an iconography form.
Starting with Elvis, then quickly jumping in the mid-1960s, the book features forty stars or bands up to the band Arcade Fire. There is a pretty good representation of the 70s and 80s, then it falls off in later years. Bands like The Doors, The Velvet Underground and U2 are here as well as Madonna and Beyonce.
I was puzzled by the addition of Blur, Arcade Fire and Daft Punk, but to each their own, I suppose. Each act gets a two page treatment with an icon version of the band featuring iconic styles. There is a list of important dates or albums, and a brief bio of the band.
It's a pretty brief overview of 50+ years of music, but perhaps it works to introduce readers to new bands they may be less familiar with.
I received a review copy of this ebook from Quarto Publishing Group - Wide Eyed Editions, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
