This is Uncool<\/a> is Mulholland’s choice of the greatest albums since Disco and Punk (the original was just singles).
\nThis book is very similar in style to This is Uncool. It’s tone is much angrier and (to me as someone who was on message boards during the poptimism\/rockism thing) it’s a more political than personal in some choices this time around.
\nI’ve docked it point for the off tangent ranting in some entries and for the rather bleak view takes of even the best music in the final few choices.
\nIt’s a cheap and interesting read for any pop music nerd in your life.<\/p>\nRating: B<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
