Anyone read this ultra-expansive and dizzyingly complete volume of how the punk movement got started and ended up influencing the so-called grunge explosion? I need to get the book before it - Babylon's Burning: Rough and Ready Rise of Punk 1973-1978 now, but Punk to Grunge was seriously informative and included everyone involved and their kitchen sink to boot. It is a massive tome(672 pgs), so only those with more than a passing interest might find it a good read(or try the library). Heylin covers the early Cleveland scene(yay! Clevo!), England, LA, NY, DC, Seattle and Aussie. I do wish that more European countries would have been covered or mentioned at least, but what the hey, this is some serious reading for anyone wanting to know how punk rock got kick started.
