    It's not quite a band book, but a kind of rock documentary book :) Pretty interesting stuff, I loved it.

    Nick Kent: The Dark Stuff - Selected writings on rock music
    Please, Pearl Jam, consider a Benaroya Hall vinyl reissue!

    This is a staple and "Heavier Than Heaven" on Kurt Cobain is one that I love too.

    No, Hammer of the Gods is not the one written by their tour manager.

    been so long since I regualrly obsessed about Zep. Here was my mistake

    from wiki page on the above book.
    Since Led Zeppelin's breakup in 1980, Cole has contributed to unofficial Led Zeppelin biographies, most notably Stephen Davis' much-maligned biography Hammer of the Gods.

    Either Cole or Peter Grant did actually write their own book...I believe..have not googled it yet however

    If you are interested in the concert business, the Bill Graham biography is very interesting.
