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!
