I Dreamed of Noise, JRNLs 80s and No Setlist are best. Goodbye 20th C has a lot of info but is loaded with pretty tedious writerly flourishes, e.g. the chapter where Steve comes to NYC to join the band and instead of using his name the writer keeps referring to Steve and The Kid.

The Kid was new to the big city, he'd heard things about it's mean streets. The kid had heard about those streets were filled with danger. The kid was just a good kid from blabla etc.

The other problem with Gb20thC is that SY's story is not massively interesting after they sign to Geffen, and from this point on the book becomes mostly about contract negotiations and business strategy. And that is for about 200 pages.
