Kelefah Sanneh’s epic Major Labels starts with Dion and the Belmonts and ends circa Ed Sheeran, Beyonce and TikTok.

Pity the modern music critic. His head is one of those TV detective link charts so tangled with string and mugshots he can no longer open the door.

This, in turn, means a radical reordering of canonical mugshots. The Rock chapter pans from Dion to the Beatles, Stones and Zeppelin to Post Malone and DaBaby in its first three pages. The thread is what constitutes a “rock star” and how that sacred signifier has been fought for and against by armies of true believers and alleged fakes through the ages.Like an alternating current, this fundamental tension between authenticity and mutation repeatedly roils and turbocharges each movement.

Kelefa Sanneh admits to a certain unease whenever Hip-Hop shows evidence of ‘creeping respectability’, as in Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Hamilton.
