Which music acts do you think have the most books about them? I'd say it's The Beatles and Elvis Presley. The Fab 4 probably have books documenting every haircut they've recieved or every grocery store they've been in. You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

That's a no-brainer. Bob Dylan by far!!!! He seems to inspire writers more than anybodyin the rock biz. | |

I think The Beatles have more picture books than Bob has books altogether. You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B.

well as for worldwide i think you have to add Queen into that equation there is tons of stuff out there on them too "We went where our music was appreciated, and that was everywhere but the USA, we knew we had fans, but there is only so much of the world you can play at once" Magne F | |

Dylan has the advantage of being a highly respected lyricist, which has prompted many studies on his lyrical output.
Don't forget David Bowie. | |

The Beatles are like the only right answer. | |

The Beatles, of course. This is not surprising.
Though, personally, I read most books about Queen and Freddie  | |

My boy Bob! i swear i see a new book on him every week
Him, The Beatles, Zeppelin, The Stones & Jimi Hendrix. Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener

In the jazz field, it's probably Miles Davis. You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

When you're talking about Beatles books, does that include biographies of the individual members? | |

Don't forget David Bowie. Yeah, that's what I was thinking about. I'm sure there is a professor in Bobology somewhere! | |

Not really, just the Beatles as a group. But I mean books of any type, not just biographies. That's why I said Beatles and Elvis. Those are the two I've seen most often over the years. As far as the individual Beatles go, I think John has the most. I've even seen books about The Quarrymen and Stuart Sutcliffe.
