Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!: The Story of Pop Music from Bill Haley to Beyoncé - Bob Stanley
This massive book is one author's attempt to condense and consolidate almost seventy years of pop music history into a single epic volume. Obviously, it's impossible to encapsulate the entirety of the breadth of pop music in a single book, but Stanley does an admirable job of covering the basics of pop music, from the beginnings of rock n' roll via blues, to Beatlemania, the rise of soul and R&B, hip hop and EDM - as well as giving a sense of the distinctive times that birthed those genres of music. It's a great primer for those that are new to the genre, and it's a fun read.
Acid Tracks and its supreme squelch noise from the TB-303. Seems to've defined acid house and influenced much more, including many of my favorite sounds. There is some coverage in the pop-history book Yeah Yeah Yeah for example.
