33 Revolutions per Minute
Dorian Lynskey
Faber and Faber
2010
In the meticulously researched
33 Revolutions per Minute, Guardian music journalist Dorian Lynskey charts the history of Western pop and politics through 33 songs, from Billie Holliday’s “Strange Fruit” to Green Day’s “American Idiot” via John Lennon and The Plastic Ono Band’s “Give Peace a Chance”. Placing the songs in their social, political and national context, including the civil rights movement, protests against the Vietnam War, union action and anti-nuclear opposition, this epic work also traces the story of countercultural and revolutionary movements of the last 100 years.
