What are the best books to get into music?
By that I mean what are the best books to learn about music theory, music history and music criticism?
I'm also looking for books that catalog the bands that were the most innovative and important to the medium.
/mu/ was no help so I'm asking here on /lit/

"the jazz theory book" by mark levine. yeah't it's theoretically about jazz, but most popular music is just a blues rip off so it's all covered. if u want electronic production, "the secrets of house music production" by sample magic is old but good. even if u not making house, it shows u all the tools and techniques to make whatever. there's a spiritual successor called "secrets of techno production" by attack mag that looks p sick, but i can't find a copy.

Pussy faced bitch. That is just music.
Zionism is fascism, uncle-fucking cracker.

Zionist begone, Kys.

Who cares what was important, it's mostly trash. All boomer rock, for instance, is unlistenable garbage even if it was influential. Just listen to a lot of music and find what you like.

I'm a lifelong anti-zionist, being an anti-statist.
You are just a racist doing the bidding of the zionists by making enemies of just any Jew and their thoughts

Just find a /mu/ chart that looks interesting and start there

>Guitar Chord Encyclopedia (the one with the Robert Fripp introduction)

Just look up harmony theory primary sources. PIcrel's a historical QRD of the apex last gasp of Western classical. Might enjoy Charles Mingus' autobiographical novel Triumph of the Underdog.

>>24986449
>Adorno On Jazz (directionally correct-- to a point)

Opera ultimately degenerated into mass entertainment Broadway Musicals-- dance hall big band jazz is/was part of revival of Theatre in the Wagnerian aim, together with music. It innovated, where avant garde composers cloistered themselves in academic self-suck even more unlistenable than the meme notion of gooning ooga booga saxophones.
