Defining Moments in Music is a (small and paperbound) coffee table book, but before you write it off let me say that it is packed with interesting information about key songs, events, inventions, performances, albums etc that pertain to the development of pop music in the 20th century. I started casually flipping through it for ideas for my women, gender and rock course and soon found that I couldn't put it down, despite the fact that it's more encyclopedic than narrative in form. It would make a great gift for any music lover that you may have on your holiday list.
