Syd's is worth a read , just done that.
Changeling: The Autobiography of Mike Oldfield - by Mike Oldfield The Beatles Anthology - by Beatles Take with a pinch of salt.................they could not agree among themselves about some things Shout!: The True Story of the Beatles by Philip Norman John Winston Lennon & John Ono Lennon by Coleman Ray First class but hard to get Bittersweet: The Clifford T Ward Story - Paperback (1 Oct 2003) by Dave Cartwright Really excellent read
Nice to be able to go back to trust and friendship!!!!!!!!!
It's a mixed up sensation this being alive Oh! it wears a man down into the ground It's the strangest elation I can't describe it Oh it leaves a man weary It makes a man frown..............................Chris Simpson ( "Mixed Up Sensations" 1975 Martin's Cafe )

Just nearing the end of Eric Clapton's auto. It's not bad, but nothing special.
Some reasonable ones I've read in the past: Bill Wyman - Stone Alone: The Story of a Rock 'n' Roll Band Bob Dylan - Chronicles Volume 1 Nick Mason - Inside Out: A Personal History of Pink Floyd John Peel - Margrave of The Marshes (JP wasn't a musician but a now-deceased, brilliant UK DJ & musicologist) Plus, I haven't read it, but have heard from several reliable sources that the Keidis book mentioned above is very good

John Lydon - No Irish No Blacks No Dogs - brilliant autobiography by Sex Pistols frontman

Surprisingly, I haven't read many but one I would recommend to you is Jack Bruce's 'Composing Himself' from earlier this year. Very informative and at the back has a chronological list of all the gigs hes ever played from say 1963 to present day. Plus it had some interesting stuff on the short lived BBM trio he was in the mid 90s who just happen to be one of my favourite bands.

All bios are good to me I have: Bruce Springsteen Leonard Cohen Bob Dylan Frank Sinatra Tony Bennet that's all I can think of but there may be more of the older stuff
