A great read for those who want to see what music inspired some of the most popular musicians of our lifetime.

I have seen this Pearl Jam documentary countless times as it is endlessly entertaining and a personal favorite. The story can be heartbreaking as well as uplifting, the editing is spectacular, and it’s filled with a fantastic choice of Pearl Jam songs spanning their career up until that point. If you enjoy this, check out the companion book “Pearl Jam Twenty,” also by Cameron Crowe.

It never ceases to amaze me the amount of times rock music has been called “Satanic” or “the devil's music.” This book taught me all I needed to know about how the occult was involved with music. From Led Zeppelin to Daryl Hall and John Oates, I was beyond surprised who has been accused of satanic sorcery.

My favorite band is R.E.M., and this look into the Athens, GA music scene was everything I hoped it would be. This book so easily captures the spirit of the bands, and its attention to detail is amazing.

I have so many things to say about this documentary. It's one of the best that I've seen and is eye-opening for those who are casual Eagles listeners.

This book is for anyone who likes music, memoirs, or great stories. The successes and tragedies that came with being a rock star in the 1980s are unmatched in any other music memoir that I’ve read. Duff McKagan’s story will suck you in and leave you wanting more. If you end up wanting more, McKagan has another book called “How to Be a Man (And Other Illusions)” that is just as great as his first book.

Unbelievably cute art style and a super cool primer for the little rockers in your life.

As a huge Tom Petty fan for most of my life, this biography by Rolling Stone writer Warren Zanes is a spectacular view into the world of Petty.

An incredible look at the Seattle music scene told by those who were there before, during, and after it hit the mainstream. Author Mark Yarm holds no relation to Mudhoney's Mark Arm.

I thought about how talented and just downright awesome Cliff Burton was for one second and checked out this book for a second time. I had forgotten how much of a metal head I can be and this book provides an amazing look into so many different eras and genres of metals history.

Even though my dad is more metal than punk and more pop-punk than metal, he would've dropped everything in a heartbeat to buy his children a book that mentioned the Misfits.

"Books My Gen X, Metalhead Dad Would've Bought for Me as a Baby." Ask about my brother's and my Cliff Burton and James Hetfield costumes.

One of the nicest things my brother has ever said to me was, "When I hear Frank Zappa speak, I think of you." He said this book achieves a similar affect but with writing.

I wish I was Dave Grohl's best friend but I think he already is everyone's best friend based on his life told through this book.

If I'm going to do one thing - it's love Mudhoney!
