A list-driven tour through punk’s provocations and personalities

Organized around more than 200 lists, this punk-rock compendium gathers rankings and provocations on subjects including offensive songs, band names, perceived sellouts, and fashion missteps. Its material draws on historical archives alongside contributions attributed to musicians and other figures connected with rock and punk history. Caricatures by underground artist Cliff Mott appear throughout, adding a visual counterpart to the book’s catalog of scenes, debates, and notorious moments. Published in 2007, it frames punk culture through the genre’s arguments, irreverence, and larger-than-life public identities rather than through a conventional chronological history.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Fans of punk-rock history and personalities
  • Browsers who enjoy music trivia and list-based books
  • Collectors interested in punk illustration and caricature

Book overview

The Official Punk Rock Book of Lists features over 200 of the funniest, craziest lists - from the Most Offensive Songs to Stupidest Band Names, from Punk Sell-Outs to Fashion Don'ts - culled from historical archives and generated by celebrity guests. Contributors include rock stars and punk luminaries, from members of Guns N' Roses and the Ramones to Little Steven Van Zandt, Nick Tosches, Lenny Kaye, Debbie Harry, and every other big-name punk from the last 30 years of rock history. Wicked caricatures, by noted underground artist Cliff Mott, of punk rock stars are peppered generously throughout the book, which is already being hyped as the most fun music book of all time.
