Pitchfork have gone for the completist/exhaustive, rather than the selective approach.
http://pitchfork.com/features/staff-lists/7967-words-and-music-our-60-favorite-music-books/

Being a saddo, I've read most of these. They're right about that Richard Meltzer book, the Bangs books (obvs), Appetite for Self-Destruction and England's Dreaming.

It's missing, American Heretics (Ben Myers' interviews), The Dark Stuff (Nick Kent) and Don Delillo's Great Jones Street, for starters.

What else is this list missing?
