Features: This is an accessible rock music theory book that explores the sociocultural significance of early rock music and examines some issues that remain unexplored to this day. Due to its deep involvement with music, society, and academic backgrounds, it posed challenges for readers a decade ago, but it seems perfectly suited for today's audience. The theme of the book, as its subtitle suggests, is the bondage and resistance of rock music, a topic that cannot be overlooked for anyone seeking to understand rock music. The paradoxes, contradictions, and hopes within the subject, as well as the broader cultural issues it raises, are all worth discussing in a volume ten times the length of this book. Therefore, it should be republished to spark more reflection in today's Chinese music scene, which eagerly anticipates the full victory of capitalism.
