He is one of the greatest musical talents Britain has ever produced. But even as the principle songwriter and lead guitarist for The Who, it would be unjust to define Pete Townshend’s life simply through his achievements with bandmates Daltrey, Moon, and Entwistle. Noting that he has sold over 100 million records over a 50-year period goes some way to quantifying his accomplishments, but numbers only scratch the surface of his contribution to popular culture.

The long-awaited autobiography of one of rock's true megastars. Rod Stewart (aka Rod The Mod and to a very select few, Dad) was born the working-class son of a Scottish plumber in North London. He was never, as some stories later had it, a professional footballer or a gravedigger, though he did become a bit of a singer - and a fairly good one at that.

Roger Daltrey is the voice of a generation. That generation was the first to rebel, to step out of the shadows of the Second World War...to invent the concept of the teenager. This is his story, from his birth at the height of the Blitz through tempestuous school days to his expulsion, age 15, for a crime he did not commit (though he was guilty of many other misdemeanours he'd got away with). Thanks to Mr Kibblewhite, his draconian headmaster, it could all have ended there. The life of a factory worker beckoned. But then came rock and roll....

Oliver Reed may not have been Britain's biggest film star - for a period in the early 70s he came within a hairsbreadth of replacing Sean Connery as James Bond - but he is an august member of that small band of people, like George Best and Eric Morecambe, who transcended their chosen medium, became too big for it even, and grew into cultural icons. For the first time Reed's close family has agreed to collaborate on a project about the man himself.

Summary
Bestselling biographer Philip Norman offers an unparalleled account of the life of a living legend, Mick Jagger. From Home Counties schoolboy, to rebel without a cause, to Sixties sensation and global idol, Norman unravels the myth of the inimitable frontman of The Rolling Stones. Mick Jagger charts his extraordinary journey through scandal-ridden conspiracy, infamous prison spell, hordes of female admirers and a knighthood while stripping away the fame, wealth and idolatry to reveal a story of talent and promise unfulfilled.
Understated yet ostentatious; the ultimate incarnation of 'sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll', yet blessed with taste and intelligence; always moving with the Jagger swagger yet modest enough to be self-deprecating, Mick was a paradoxical energy that reconfigured the musical landscape. This revelatory tour de force pays tribute to a flawed genius who realised the dreams of thousands of rock pretenders: longevity.

Interesting bio of personality unknown
well written and researched. subject is difficult to pin down because of his camillion personality. The females lives he has interacted with have all been affected in various ways, in the most long term trists to their extreme detriment. pity this bio finishes in 2011 because of the very sad passing of the woman who the book claims tamed him. the writers take on this would have been interesting. However as a performer there is no doubt he's the best. As a man and human who we can only judge by how he's treats people he is an odious person.

A Light-Hearted Profile
Its amazing how different two rock biogs can be. This is very piss-taking. This is due partly to Norman, partly narrator. If you compare this to the Keith Richards biog you would imagine the two protagonists coming from two entirely different bands.
This is jocular and really trivialises Micks life and vanity, whilst Richards' is lyrical, almost poetic. Victor Bockris obviously has a real reverence for his subject, whilst Phillip Norman, well....and who is to say who's right, who captures the essence of the Stones. Its still an interesting listen, but it doesnt really pay proper respect to the very real influence the Stones and Mick had on popular culture because it feels too sensationalist. Richards comes across as a modern Byron and Mick feels like Russell Brand

Pretty good
Quite a revealing excellently researched book as always from Phillip Norman. I don’t mind Mick as it goes and this book goes a long way to gaining some understanding into the subject. Along similar lines to his McCartney one. Both are a long way short of his frankly brilliant study of John Lennon though.
One quibble I have (as I did with McCartney audio book) is the narration. Nothing personal against him, but his slightly posh English accent just felt a bit incongruous with the subject matter at hand. Again, I’m spoiled as the Lennon one had such fantastic narration. It’s only really a minor quibble and my own personal taste.
It’s worth getting if you’re on the fence about it.

Would even listen this one over again...Loved it!
I am a huge Stones fan, though Jagger is not really my fav. However, the story is so well written and so so funny; hearing all about the "Tyranny of cool". The things he did-just to appear cool and keep 'current'. What a laugh. Some stuff not so funny of course, like the way he controlled and treated the women in his life; from his mother, to his various partners and wives. However, I felt the way the book was written was excellent in that it covered his positive side and attributes, also the not so flattering aspects of his personality. So it felt balanced. The story also gave lots of info, unlike some bios that are way too guarded. You really had a sense of what it must have been like to be around this incredibly talented; though narcissistic man.
