About the Book
A non-commercial, self-published writer for the music blog Green Inc, Chris Green’s Soundtrack For The Decades sets out to disprove the theory that new music is exclusively for the young and how his capacity to be amazed by it remains a constant presence and joy in his life. Covering 56 years, the book explores how modern music culture progressed creatively, sonically and technologically over the decades and how he got from Lee Marvin’s ‘Wanderin’ Star’ in 1970 to Baxter Dury’s ‘Return Of The Sharp Heads’ in 2026. Filtered through the lens of personal memory and his own curated listening, Chris lives in hope that if Soundtrack For The Decades can inspire just one person to listen to one of the 560 songs he’s written about then he’s achieved everything he set out to.

About the Creator
Chris Green was festering away in Reading until Johnny Rotten and punk came along to save his soul. Naively believing that you really could do what you wanted, he wrote for fanzines, promoted groups and ran indie record labels before a handful of ‘proper’ jobs as a postman, binman and waste operations manager. Currently a middle-aged listener, thinker, writer and man of leisure addicted to MotoGP, the Bundesliga and doing proper ‘fuck all’, he lives in the village of Charminster near Dorchester, Dorset with his wife Claire.
