My answer is here.

As far as your list of the top 4 music books of all time, what did you think of "Rip It Up and Start Again"? I've read that a couple of times and would probably put that right up at the top of my personal list.
Though I haven't read it for a very long time, I think England's Dreaming may be one of the best rock books out there.
I also love Jim's book on psychedelic rock.
The New 13th floor Elevators Tome Eye Mind is one of the best rock bios I have read in a long time. Very thorough and enlightening. I've been a fan of them for 20 years and it was surprising how little I knew about them as a group. Also the compendium Britpop! is a good read too!
