About this title: This is a book both broad and deep, drawing from the diverse worlds of classical, jazz, rock, pop, blues, country, folk, musicals, hip-hop, world, opera, soundtracks, and more. It's arranged alphabetically by artist to create the kind of unexpected juxtapositions that break down genre bias and broaden listeners' horizons - it makes every listener a seeker, actively pursuing new artists and new sounds, and reconfirming the greatness of the classics.

"I've discovered a lot of great music by scanning through this book. It isn't exhaustive of course, because that book would be too big to carry...but it is a great collection of "must hear" music. If you are a gospel fan I'm afraid you will be disappointed because gospel music (and other religious musical genres) in general is not well represented in this book. Other than that, it is a great musical reference for any music lover's library."
"I thought the choices werent equitable- some genres being neglected, and a slight overemphasis on jazz and blues, may be of author's own taste. So if you are well acquainted with Jazz you would want to skip this but if you are looking for a decent list of great Jazz recordings, along with a few other greats this would do it."
"My son gave me this book for Christmas. Since I'm a musicholic, it was the perfect gift. I have to get a move on because I figured there were still about 200 albums I need to hear. If you like music and are looking to explore different types, or are just a list type, check this book out."
