ISBN: 9781399816908
Published: 2024-10
When Miranda Sawyer interviewed Liam Gallagher in 1994, his gag wishing Damon Albarn would die of AIDS became front-page news all over the world. This fascinating pop history, exploring the moment British music suddenly meant everything, explains why. Picking out twenty key songs, delving into the surprising stories behind them and their unlikely creators, 'Uncommon People' takes us back to when Jarvis Cocker became a national hero, films like 'Trainspotting' were international hits, rave became what everybody did - and it felt like the revolution was happening.
