Nostalgia Overload - In The Best Way!

I listened to this as a road trip companion, and wow, what a blast! My friends and I spent hours testing each other's 90s music knowledge, discovering I'm apparently a walking encyclopedia of one-hit wonders (who knew?). The mix of trivia and fun facts kept things challenging, and I learned some wild stuff about songs I've heard a thousand times. Perfect difficulty level - challenging enough to make you think but not so obscure that it gets frustrating. It's such a fun way to relive the golden age of music!

What an incredible nostalgic Time Machine this was

This audiobook was an incredible Time Machine for me. The 90s definitely had some bad spots in it, but for me it had so many bright spots, as I’m sure it did for many people. For 90s music it meant different things to different people. To some people it was all about the grunge or maybe the boys bands. Although that may be true for me, my favorite artist to come out of the 90s with Shania Twain. but I appreciate all of the artists from the 90s. It was such an amazing decade. As for the audiobook, the way it was structured and narrated was so incredibly well done. I learned so much throughout the book. My mind is always in a learning state. I want to thank the author for creating this ingenious book! I would like to see him create one for the 70s and 80s as well. Who knows? Maybe he already has one and I don’t know it. Well done!!
