From Laura Jane Grace to Ian MacKaye, Don McLean to Cherie Currie, Alice Bag to Mac DeMarco, Perry Farrell to Suzi Quatro and Verdine White, and many more, bestselling author Eric Spitznagel talks to rock stars across the sonic spectrum about the albums that changed them in ways only music can change someone.

Read about how ';Weird Al' Yankovic refined his accordion skills by playing along to Elton John's Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, or how Fishbone's Angelo Moore saved his life with a boombox and a Bad Brains album.

It's hard to believe that no one has done this before, but now that I've read it, it seems totally obviousexcept that most journalists wouldn't be able to get people to talk so openly and compellingly about something that, to an artist, may feel very private. I know these great musicians and their music better now. Thank you, Eric.' Daniel J.

Rock Stars on the Record is so much fun, and more illuminating that you'd expect.' Caroline Sullivan, author of Bye Bye Baby: My Tragic Love Affair with the Bay City Rollers
