Over 500 alphabetically arranged, signed articles recap the careers, successes, and critical reputations of a wide range of contemporary artists. Each profile begins with a summary listing the artist's musical style, first album release, and list of band members, and ends with a select discography, awards, and cross-references to other relevant articles. Other useful features include a glossary, bibliography, time line of first releases, index of song and album titles, and a list of articles by musical style. Superbly organized, attractively presented, and filled with interesting information in an easy-to-read format, this source should be widely popular in school, public, and academic libraries alike."--"Outstanding reference sources 2000", American Libraries, May 2000.
