Words and Music by Paul Morley

With meanings, its hidden depths, and its obvious shallowness, this book gives an explanation and a justification of tracks that might be included on a two-disc discography of seminal moments in pop music history. It decodes the sexily philosophical things crawling through the moist, scratchy undergrowth of rock and roll.
Paul Morley wrote for the NME from 1977 to 1983 when it was at its most successful and notorious. He wrote for the first few issues of The Face and was a regular contributor to Blitz. He formed ZTT and was instrumental behind the success of Frankie Goes to Hollywood. He also formed The Art of Noise . He has writen for many publications. He was one of the first presenters of The Late Show. He now writes for Arena and Esquire and contributes to numerous TV and radio programmes, including the successful Top Ten series on Channel 4. His last book, Nothing, was published to great acclaim by Faber in 2000.
