The great indie discography (2nd ed)

Martin C. Strong has chronicled the careers of those musicians who positioned themselves outside the mainstream of conventional "pop".

From the Americans like Velvet Undergound and Captain Beefheart who offered something different to the flower power and peace of the 60s, through the filth and fury of punk, to the acid house culture that spawned the Happy Mondays and Primal Scream, and onto the ascension of American grunge and Nirvana.
