As a culture we’re more interested in what musicians are doing on their reality show or wearing to the MVAs than their actual music or message. But a rare few rise above the noise to become legends. The Taschen Music Icons Series of visual biographies highlights some of the greatest musicians who ever lived, like John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix and Bob Dylan. Each book tells the story of their lives and careers through 150 portraits, album covers, rare concert photos and previously unpublished candid shots.
