Being a saddo, I've read most of these. They're right about that Richard Meltzer book, the Bangs books (obvs), Appetite for Self-Destruction and England's Dreaming.
It's missing, American Heretics (Ben Myers' interviews), The Dark Stuff (Nick Kent) and Don Delillo's Great Jones Street, for starters.
What else is this list missing?
