Science Fiction in Classic Rock: Musical Explorations of Space, Technology and the Imagination, 1967-1982 - Critical Explorations in Science Fiction and Fantasy
Robert McParland
This is the first book to bring together the imagination and energy of rock music with its sources in mythology and science fiction. The mythological roots of classic rock music artists from David Bowie, the Jefferson Airplane, and Pink Floyd, to Rush, Blue Oyster Cult, and Iron Maiden are explored, along with the stories they tell and the critiques of contemporary society that their songs carry.
