Twilight of the Gods: A Journey to the End of Classic Rock

Twilight of the Gods is a must-read for any music lover, particularly those who grew up with classic rock in the 60s, 70s, and 80s.

This book takes an eye-opening exploration of the state of classic rock, its past and future, and the impact it has had on our culture and way of life.

Through personal memoir, criticism, and journalism, author Steven Hyden stands witness as classic rock reaches its precipice, traveling to eclectic places where geriatric rockers are still making music and talking to artists and fans who have aged with them.

The book investigates the rise and fall of classic rock radio and delves into live bootlegs, tell-all rock biographies, and even the liner notes of rock’s greatest masterpieces to tell the story of what this music means and how it will be remembered.

Will classic rock remain relevant as its idols leave the stage permanently? Hyden explores this question and more in Twilight of the Gods, a thought-provoking and deeply personal examination of one of the most influential musical subcultures of our time.
