The convergence of rock music, counterculture politics and avant-garde aesthetics in the late 1960s underscored the careers of the Beatles, Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, and the Velvet Underground. This book examines these artists' relationship to the historical avant-garde and the neo-avant-garde, considering their work in light of debates about modernism versus postmodernism.
