Their unique sound and distinct iconography have had a lasting impact on music fans and performers alike. This book disassembles The Fall’s significant contribution to music. Based on up-to-date original research, the book separates fact from fiction and offers a thorough investigation into The Fall and their founder\/leader Mark E Smith, in particular. Given The Fall’s complexities (their wide range of influences; multiple line-ups and ‘anti-music’ stance), the book draws upon a wide range of academic disciplines, including ethnomusicology, sociology, literary theory, linguistics, journalism, cultural studies, and film and media studies, in order to unpack the group’s influence and legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eForeword: (Gavin Friday)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Mr Sociological Memory Man (Martin Power and Eoin Devereux) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1: Spoiling all the Paintwork: Mark E.
