In London, the Rolling Stones played the blues as if their lives depended on it.

As the 70s progressed, the androgyny of David Bowie and bands like T-Rex launched glam rock to the world.These two decades of freedom and creativity are captured in this book with photos by the best photographers, and text by top French music writer Philippe Margotin.
