“In the beginning rock ‘n’ roll was simple & direct. Songs conveyed their point seriously and in under 3 minutes. In the sixties it began to take itself seriously; angry young men with faces as long as their guitar solos pontificated on life, the universe and everything. The rock icon was born. This book topples the statues, revealing that all the gold from Dylan, Presley, Costello et al. does not necessarily glitter. With incisive criticisms of the fifty worst albums and fifty worst singles, and special sections including the worst Dylan cover versions, the worst Elvis tributes and the worst rock ‘n’ rollers of all time. Slipped Discs… The Worst Rock ‘n’ Roll Records of All Time is the most witty, caustic and honest rock guide ever written”. From the book "Slipped Discs: The Worst Rock ‘n’ Roll Records of All Time" by authors Jimmy Guterman & Owen O’Donnell, 1991, Virgin Publishing. All text is quoted from the book.
