Trabajando con una definición amplia de pop (que incluye country, metal, disco, Dylan, skyffle y glam), separa las conexiones y las tensiones que dan vida a los rankings ydefiende que son una parte vital de nuestra historia. Yeah! es la mayor y más ecléctica de las gramolas hecha libro, una guía para la banda sonora de nuestras vidas, y un regalo para cualquiera que haya alucinado con las primeras notas de una canción pop.
