The significance of popular music heritage as a means of remembering and re-presenting rock and pop artists, their music, and their place in contemporary society is explored critically in this book. Since the mid-1990s, the contribution of popular music to the shaping of contemporary history and heritage has gained increasing recognition. During the same period, exhibitions of popular music-related artefacts have become more commonplace in museums, and facilities dedicated to celebrating popular music history and heritage, such as the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, have opened their doors.

Popular music heritage has also found other mediums of expression, including books, magazines, films, and television series. Fans collect and display their own mementos, while live performances of tribute bands and classic albums fulfill an increasing desire for the live spectacle of popular music heritage.

This book is an essential resource for established scholars, postgraduate and undergraduate students studying popular music heritage. It provides a comprehensive and interdisciplinary examination of the topic, drawing on a range of theoretical perspectives and empirical research. The book will be of interest to anyone with an interest in music, culture, and the history of popular music.
