Nick Kent's The Dark Stuff, although massively overblown and derivative of Lester, has some great stuff in it too. The essay about Guns N Roses gives an incredibly vivid insight into the LA Rock scene of the 80s.
Personally though, I still think Ian MacDonald is the best of the British writers. His book The People's Music has some brilliant stuff about a whole range of artists. And, of course, his book about the Beatles, Revolution in Your Head, is just ridiculously brilliant.
