Rock's Backpages is a massive online database of rock journalism, featuring over 17,000 articles on artists from Elvis to Eminem, the Rolling Stones to the Stone Roses, and Amy Winehouse to the White Stripes.
Rock's Backpages was voted one of the Best 25 Music Sites by The Observer Music Monthly, who call it a "cultural resource for students, a tool for journalists, and a great way of whiling away a wet afternoon", and one of the Best 40 Music Sites by The Daily Telegraph, who invite their readers to "marvel at the pre-PR days, when writers could hang out with Keiths Moon and Richards..."
The site features the work of many of the world's bestknown music journalists past and present, including Lester Bangs, Nick Kent, Lenny Kaye, Nick Tosches, Carol Cooper, Dave Marsh, Ben Fong-Torres, Penny Valentine, Jon Savag, Charles Shaar Murray and Simon Reynolds.
Rock's Backpages is coming to our online reference library, available on this website, from November 1. It's a comp ticket too - we've paid the subscription so you don't have to. Library members only though: if your name's not down....
