This book offers a Marxist history of popular music, examining the cultural and political significance of chart music in Britain and America from 1953 to 2023. It explores how music has been both a medium of rebellion and a reflection of societal changes, focusing on key genres such as rock'n'roll, punk, disco, and rap. The author, Toby Manning, aims to illustrate how popular music has interacted with political movements, often serving as a dialectical force of repression and refusal. The book is intended for readers interested in music history, cultural studies, and political theory.
