2017br. Raccontare la storia del rock non sarebbe per nessuno un compito agevole, e neppure breve, in particolare per chi decidesse di analizzarne le vicende dal lato prevalentemente musicale. Meglio allora selezionare un certo numero di gruppi e di singoli musicisti, qualche concerto o festival memorabile, un po' di dischi, una manciata di libri, e concentrarsi solo su di essi. Il risultato è "Storie di Rock", nel quale l'autore, oltre ad analizzare in modo originale (come da sua abitudine) fatti e musiche riferiti a nomi e formazioni ormai classici, si propone di riportare alla luce l'attività di importanti gruppi e musicisti per lo più trascurati, e in qualche caso addirittura dimenticati, da una certa storiografia - specialmente italiana - non sempre all'altezza del suo compito. Il libro è arricchito da saggi critici e, per la prima volta in Italia, da un'ampia panoramica sulla musica della San Francisco Bay Area, meglio nota come San Francisco Sound.
