10 Music Autobiographies We Would Love To Read

5. Jarvis Cocker

You can tell from the way that Jarvis Cocker perfectly executes the art of story-telling within Pulp€™s lyrics that any autobiography in his name would be a delight to read. Cocker€™s seminal moment arrived when asked to step-in for the Stone Roses at Glastonbury in 1995 €“ a long overdue event for the band that had formed seventeen years earlier in 1978. One of the insightful things about this autobiography would be his take on the years spent struggling to breakthrough into the mainstream, plighted by a string of ill-fated gigs, albums which repeatedly under-performed and periods of being disbanded entirely (including Cocker€™s own study at Saint Martins College). However, something made them hang in there and chase that dream of success longer than most, and aren€™t we grateful they did. Jarvis single-handedly made lankily prancing around in a suit and glasses the epitome of cool, and who better to tell the story of 1990s cool Britannia than the intelligent mouthpiece of Britpop himself?
