Story
It is an unequivocal fact that in terms of rock bands, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and the Who represent Year Zero; the beginning of all things, ground-breakers all. To that incontrovertible end, John Entwistle - The Who's beloved bassist - remains an enigmatic yet undeniably influential figure. However, unlike his fellow musicians, Entwistle has yet to be the subject of a major biography. In the years since his death, his enduring legacy has been carefully guarded by his loved ones, preventing potential biographers from writing the definitive account of his life - until now.

Total F*cking Godhead is the complete story of the complex and enigmatic artist, Chris Cornell. It's the riveting account of a blue collar, high-school dropout emerging from Seattle, Washington, to become one of the greatest singer-songwriters and voices of his generation. With input from people who knew and worked with him - together with Cornell's own words - the book recounts in great detail the rise of his immortal band Soundgarden as they emerged from the 1980s post-punk underground to dominate popular culture in the '90s alongside other Seattle bands like Pearl Jam.

The authorized biography of the most notorious rock manager of all time, Peter Grant, best known for his work with Led Zeppelin. Often acknowledged as the "fifth member of Led Zeppelin", Grant's story has appeared in fragments across countless Zeppelin biographies, but none has explored who this brilliant and intuitive manager yet flawed and sometimes dangerous man truly was. No one has successfully captured the scope of his personality or his long-lasting impact on the music business. Acclaimed author and journalist Mark Blake seeks to rectify that.

Eric Clapton is far more than a rock star. Like Dylan and McCartney, he is an icon and a living legend. He has sold tens of millions of records, played sell-out concerts all over the world, and been central to the significant musical developments of his era. His guitar playing has seen him hailed as "God". Now, for the first time, Eric tells the story of his personal and professional journeys in this pungent, witty, and painfully honest autobiography.

People ask me how come I'm still alive, and I don't know what to say. When I was growing up, if you'd have put me up against a wall with the other kids from my street and asked me which one of us was gonna make it to the age of 60, with five kids and four grandkids and houses in Buckinghamshire and California, I wouldn't have put money on me, no f--king way. But here I am: ready to tell my story, in my own words, for the first time. A lot of it ain't gonna be pretty. I've done some bad things in my time. But I ain't the devil.

The son of a classical pianist straight out of the Bronx of old Archie comics, Steven Tyler was born to be a rock star. Weaned on Cole Porter, Nat King Cole, Mick and his beloved Janis Joplin, Tyler began tearing up the streets and the stage as a teenager before finally meeting his "mutant twin" and legendary partner, Joe Perry. In this addictively listenable memoir, Tyler unabashedly recounts the meteoric rise, fall, and rise of Aerosmith over the last three decades and riffs on the music that gives it all meaning.

Publisher's Summary
Robert Plant by Paul Rees is the definitive biography of Led Zeppelin's legendary frontman. As lead singer for one of the biggest and most influential rock bands of all time-whose song "Stairway to Heaven" has been played more times on American radio than any other track-Robert Plant defined what it means to be a rock god.
Over the course of his 20-year career, British music journalist and editor Paul Rees has interviewed such greats as Sir Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen, Madonna, Bono, and AC/DC. Rees now offers a full portrait of Robert Plant for the first time, exploring the forces that shaped him, the ravaging highs and lows of the Zeppelin years - including his relationship with Jimmy Page and John Bonham - and his life as a solo artist today.
Robert Plant: A Life is the never-before-told story of a gifted, complicated music icon who changed the face of rock 'n' roll.

Robert Plant's - A Life - (An incredible journey)
A wonderful audiobook about Robert Plant - the 9 hour.26 minute length was actually an advantage as I was traveling in a car for 13 hours recently - made the trip much easier.
The story is not just about Plant - it weaves the story around all people and events around Plant's incredible life and love for music. The story ends with Robert saying "the best is yet to come!"

Some errors & fluff
For a nine hour duration, about half of the story is directly related to Plant and the majority of that is related to his music. While there is some insight to his character and personal life, those details are scarce. The majority of the book is a retelling of Zeppelin's history, which can be better attained elsewhere.
That being said, Plant's later years are given some creedance and may offer some fresh insight to those who are out of touch with his myriad of post Zeppelin accomplishments.
There are also a few factual errors that you would think would have been corrected before the audio production of the book. With these in mind, one would stand to be distracted by wondering what else was overlooked or misrepresented.
