대중음악 백과사전

2006년에 출간한 4판의 모습
'''대중음악 백과사전'''()은 1989년 콜린 라킨이 출판한 백과사전이다. 라킨은 아첨하는 듯한 말로 현대판 《The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians》라고 묘사하였다. 타임스는 이 책을 "다른 모든 사람들이 평가받아야 하는 스탠더드"라고 표현했다.
대중음악 백과사전은 1900년대 초반부터 현재까지 민속 음악, 블루스, 컨트리 음악, 리듬 앤 블루스, 재즈, 록, 헤비 메탈, 레게, 전자 음악, 힙합 음악을 포함한 광범위한 대중음악에 대해 소개하고 있다.
기네스 퍼블리싱, 버진 퍼블리싱, 옴니버스 프레스가 각 주제에 관한 스핀오프 책을 제작했고, 라킨의 《역대 최고의 음반 1000장》()은 동반으로 제작됐다. 현재 축약판은 5판까지 인쇄되었다.
1992년부터 65만 권 이상이 판매되었다.
2011년 5월, 옴니버스 프레스는 아마존 킨들 버전의 대중음악 백과사전을 출시하였다.
