The Guardian hat sich anlässlich des Todes von Scott Miller mit seiner Musik beschäftigt. Sehr informativ und gut geschrieben,

Das Buch von Scott Miller „Music – What Happened“ habe ich inzwischen gelesen. Es bekommt von mir die Höchstwertung *****
Dazu einige Auszüge aus dem obigen Artikel:
„It’s a brilliant, brilliant book, one of my favourite music books. Its premise is simple – Miller picks his favourite songs from every year since the inception of rock’n’roll and writes about them. He makes no bones about the fact that his favourite music has guitars and melodies (though he embraces hip-hop and R&B as the years pass); he prescribes the best way to listen to songs (Led Zeppelin, for example, demand vinyl); he sometimes insists the song only works in an edit he diagnoses. But every word is filled with passion for music – it’s the work of a fan, but a fan who understands how songs work and how recording works, and who wants to share that knowledge.“
