Abstract
Listen to New Wave Rock! is the first volume in the Exploring a Musical Genre series from Greenwood Press. According to the series forward, the series will consist of “scholarly volumes written for the enjoyment of virtually any music fan” (x). Rather than attempt to provide an exhaustive history of new wave music, this volume instead focuses on fifty musical works the author considers to be “Must-Hear Music” (xiv). This limited focus allows the author to devote more attention to the chosen pieces of music than is typical of most reference resources. The entries provide accounts of each band’s formation and early careers that one would expect in a volume such as this; however, what distinguishes Listen to New Wave Rock! is the rigorous critical analysis the author applies to each selected musical composition.
听新浪潮摇滚!是探索音乐流派系列从格林伍德出版社的第一卷。根据系列向前，该系列将包括“学术卷为几乎任何乐迷的享受”(x)。而不是试图提供一个详尽的新浪潮音乐的历史，本卷而不是专注于50个音乐作品，作者认为是“必听的音乐”(xiv)。这种有限的焦点允许作者投入更多的关注音乐作品比典型的大多数参考资源。这些条目提供了每个乐队的组成和早期职业生涯的描述，这是人们在这样一本书中所期望的;然而，是什么让《Listen to New Wave Rock!》是严谨的批判性分析，作者适用于每一个选定的音乐作品。
