Amazing Nostalgic Experience
I've listened to trivia audiobooks before but with this one I really felt like I'd taken a trip back to the 80s in the era where my parents were growing up. I learned so much about all of the different genres such as pop, synth wave, reggae, hip hop and many more. The way it was presented reminded me of one of those music countdowns you see on TV, trivia questions with other fun facts and did you knows sprinkled in. My favourite fact was that the authors dad almost joined the Bee Gees! This was a great listen!

A blast for road trips!
I recently listened to this audiobook during a road trip, and I have to say it was a blast! Though I thought I knew a lot about the music of the 80s, this audiobook proved that there was so much more to learn. It's a fantastic way to embrace the nostalgia of the era while testing your knowledge and history of classic pop, rock, new wave, hip hop, and more.
Not only did it make the long drive more enjoyable, but it also sparked some friendly competition and conversation among my travel companions as we tried to guess the answers to various trivia questions. The mix of interesting facts, behind-the-scenes stories, and memorable moments from the 80s music scene kept us engaged and entertained throughout the journey.
Whether you're a hardcore 80s music fan or just looking for something fun to pass the time on your next road trip, this audiobook is a delightful and informative choice that will undoubtedly have you humming along to your favorite tunes from the decade.

80's Groove: Music and Fun Facts
This book is a masterpiece for anyone who loves the music from the 1980s.
Listening to this audiobook took me on a nostalgic journey down memory lane. I vividly remembered the first time I heard "Thriller" by Michael Jackson and how it became an instant classic.
I particularly enjoyed the segment about the rise of MTV and how it transformed the music industry. It felt like I was reliving a part of my youth while learning new things at the same time.
Narrator's enthusiastic tone keeps you engaged, and the short, bite-sized facts make it easy to listen to during short commutes or while doing chores.
Highly Recommended!

Very Entertaining and Nostalgic
This guide is packed full of facts and information about 80s music. I learned so much from listening to this, some of the facts were shocking and quite cool to know. The book covers multiple genres and it shows you how music developed over the years. The audiobook is very engaging, some of the questions have multiple-choice answers and so on. I recommend this audiobook.

80s music are great
This experience was really enjoyable for me. It took me back to the past, offered an enjoyable variety of genres, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that I could answer the music trivia questions. The musical pieces were great and the guitar lessons provided for free were an added bonus! The narration was excellent, and the three stories were truly captivating and sparked my limitless imagination.
