Summary: Big Encyclopedia
Comment: This is a good book but the guides to jazz, rock, and blues are much better and more complete. Also, the classical section is rather skimpy.

Summary: Good comphrensive look at music...but
Comment: They did a pretty decent job. Some problems crop up, however, as there are errors throughout the book on specific bands that even the casual fan would catch. Hey, I'm not a fan of all these bands, but I caught most of the errors. There are also proof reading errors throughout the book.These points aside, most of the reviews are fairly well written and informed. Whether or not you agree with the opinions expressed, the authors generally have solid reasoning for their comments. Still, one could wish for better accuracy for a book that is supposedly so comphrensive.
Hey guys, if you're looking for an additional writer I'm available!

Summary: Good, But Lacking In The "World Music" Area
Comment: It is a very comprehensive, useful and well-organized guide. But there is not nearly enough about world music artists. For that, you need to turn to "World Music: The Rough Guide" or "The Brazilian Sound."

Summary: My Favorite Guide
Comment: Sorry to say, but I guess I own all or most of the guides out there. I can't resist. The All-Music Guide is my hands-down favorite. I can't agree with everything I read in it, but dollar-for-dollar, this single book has saved me a small fortune in buying CDs. Great in the bathroom too.
