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!

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!

80's Music Trivia
I enjoyed listening and discovering information about these songs and their influence they had on the culture and history. The trivia questions made this a more engaging listen and I gained knowledge that I didn't know. There was a lot more to this era than just the genres that I had heard. This would make a great way to pass the time on a road trip!
