Now it's here, the first comprehensive analysis of the entire oeuvre of an exquisite selection of 20 of the greatest bands and solo artists from the wide field of rock music. A whole team of experienced music journalists of the rock magazine "eclipsed" presents a basic work of rock music after years of intensive research.

The eclipsed editorial team not only compiled all relevant information, backgrounds, press quotes and musician statements on the individual albums, but also presented a clear album ranking (in five categories from "Kaufrausch" to "Fehlkauf"), including an individual evaluation of all songs.

"ROCK" offers an exciting overview for beginners and detailed expert knowledge for experts. Everything from Bowie to Pink Floyd, from Hendrix to Led Zeppelin, from Genesis to Neil Young. A second part with 20 other great rock acts (including The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Black Sabbath) was released in 2014.

"One of the greatest rock encyclopedias of recent years, the esteemed colleagues from the prog magazine 'eclipsed' have been blasting into our music rooms." (Rock Hard)

"The book not only evaluates every single record of the artists. She also rates every single song on it. The authors prove pleasing expertise [...] Can a book do more about rock? No! (Frankfurter Rundschau)

"A high-quality book at an amazingly low price. An absolute must for the friends of rock music of the 60s to 80s." (SWR1)
