Rock Trivia Madness: 60s to 90s Rock Music Trivia & Amazing Facts

I purchased Rock Trivia Madness: 60s to 90s Rock Music Trivia & Amazing Facts for my husband, who is a rock history buff, and he absolutely loved it. It’s fun, engaging, and packed with interesting facts and trivia that even surprised him. We’ve had a great time reading through it and testing our knowledge. Excellent quality and a really entertaining book for any rock music fan. Highly recommend!

Co-authors Bill O’Neill and Steve Murray are both prolific writers – and they love to explore all manner of subjects from reiku to trivia. They have gathered fascinating facts about the subject of Rock and stars and have arranged these into Sections on ARTISTS OF THE 60s (Bob Dylan, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who, The Beach Boys, Jimi Hendrix, James Brown, The Grateful Dead, The Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Yardbirds, The Kinks, The Doors, Cream, Janis Joplin, Sly and the Family Stone, etc), ARTISTS OF THE 70s (Van Morrison, David Bowie, Led Zeppelin, Joni Mitchell, Stevie Wonder, Black Sabbath, Big Star, Pink Floyd, Lynyrd Skynyrd, George Clinton and Parliament/ Funkadelic, Jimmy Cliff, The Runaways, New York Dolls Chic, Television, The Ramones, The Sex Pistols, etc), ARTISTS OF THE 80s (Michael Jackson, Prince, Bruce Springsteen, Madonna, Talking Heads, New Order, Bauhaus, Judas Priest, Motorhead ,Black Flag, Tom Waits, Van Halen, Sonic Youth, The Smiths, U2, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Run-DMC, etc), ARTISTS OF THE 90s (Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Hole, Nine Inch Nails, PJ Harvey, Liz Phair, Sarah McLachlan, My Bloody Valentine, Radiohead, Pavement, Fugazi, Elliott Smith, Jeff Buckley, Green Day, Rage Against the Machine, Oasis, etc), RANDOM FUN FACTS with a quiz for us) and GREAT ALBUMS OF THE 60s and 70s and 80s and 90s. Each section is followed with a Random Fun Facts and a quiz of sorts. This is an in depth study that brings to light a lot of history and nostalgia and memorabilia, and even if Rock was not your thing, this recreation of four decades of mood and times and famous people peppered with humor and lots of trivia makes for a terrific ride to the past. Jump in and discover the fun. Grady Harp, April 17

This is an OK book for someone who is only mildly interested in the Rock Era. The trivia included is very pedestrian though there are some interesting pieces of information. You won't find any "gotcha" new trivia in this book if you are a Rock n Roll aficionado. I gave it as a gift and the person didn't complain so it must have been OK.

Bought as a Christmas present and the recipient loved it. Very interesting book for music lovers.

Rather sparse detail on the artists and groups profiled. Not evident what criteria the authors used for those selected for this compilation. Writing style does little to pull the reader in or keep the readers interest. Almost seems like the authors put this book together over a weekend as a joke on those of us who bought it.

I got this as a gift for an old rocker hippie buddy loves it so much said its a great read uses it when chillin or using the bathroom

Awesome!!

My dad was born in the 60’s and lived the rock n roll life. He loves it

Had lots of fun when I took this on a group holiday

Very interesting tit bits a lot of fun.

This book is pretty lame... Anyone who would place Joy Division over Abba as one of the top bands of the 70s obviously don't know very much... It reminded me of reading Rolling Stone...a bore and a total waste of time... Don't waste your money on it..

Exactly as it's seen in the picture. It was a very nice present!

Si on connais un tant soit peu la musique on apprend pas grand chose. Ca va trop en surface. Ca manque de viande pas mal!
