“A must have for those of us who escaped our parents’ terrible musical tastes. A love letter to the music and period that defined a generation. Full of joy and pathos, it left me yearning for a world before ‘X Factor’ when music was about something.”
– Steve Coogan
Foreground Music is also available as an audiobook! Free to listen to on Amazon's Audible, Graham himself narrates the tales of 40 years of musical evolution and subversive subcultures.
