With the 2025 holiday season upon us, it’s time to start gift-giving. And if\u00a0anyone on your shopping list\u00a0enjoys a good book about music, you’re in luck.<\/p>\n
In the past calendar year, a slew of rock-related books have entered the market, with a little something for everyone.<\/p>\n
For fans of memoirs, there’s Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers <\/a>guitarist Mike Campbell<\/a>‘s aptly titled Heartbreaker<\/em><\/a>, plus Lionel Richie’s Truly: The Official Inspirational Journey Through the Life of a Musical Legend<\/em> and part two of Robbie Robertson<\/a>‘s memoir, this one titled Insomnia<\/em>. Not to mention Ozzy Osbourne<\/a>‘s Last Rites<\/em><\/a>, which takes on extra special meaning given the singer’s passing<\/a> at the age of 76 in July.<\/p>\n Or perhaps you know someone who loves musical photography. In that case, there’s Oasis The Masterplan<\/em><\/a> with archival images by Kevin Cummins \u2014 fitting for the year in which\u00a0the Britpop band reunited<\/a> \u2014 and Pearl Jam Live!: 35 Years of Legendary Music and Revolutionary Shows<\/em> by Selena Fragassi.<\/p>\n We’d also recommend one or a few of this year’s books honoring the women of rock, including but not limited to Pretend We’re Dead: The Rise, Fall and Resurrection of Women in Rock in the ’90s<\/em> by Tanya Pearson, Songs She Wrote: Forty Hits by Pioneering Women of Popular Music<\/em>\u00a0by Michael G. Garber or Queens of Disco<\/em>\u00a0by Annie Zaleski.<\/p>\n And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. In the below gallery, we’ve rounded up 45 rock books released this year that would be perfect for gifting the music lover in your life this holiday season.<\/p>\n Memoirs, photography and more.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Gallery Credit: Allison Rapp<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n2025 Rock Books<\/h2>\n
