The Encyclopedia of Australian Rock and Pop or Rock and Pop by Australian music journalist Ian McFarlane is a guide to Australian popular music from the 1950s to the late 1990s.[1][2] The book has a similar title to the 1978 work by Noel McGrath, Australian Encyclopaedia of Rock and Pop,[3] but is not otherwise related.
Publishers, Allen & Unwin described McFarlane's encyclopedia as containing over 870 entries and an "essential reference to the bands and artists who molded the shape of Australian popular music [...] in an A-to-Z encyclopedia format complete with biographical and historical details. Each entry also includes listings of original band lineups and subsequent changes, record releases, career highlights, and cross-references with related bands and artists."[4]
The first edition is out of print, but was for a time available on the whammo.com.au online record store, and is still in the Internet Archive. In 2017 a second edition was published by Third Stone Press.[5]
