Who wants to read about music you don't want to listen to? A music trivia book for people who love music and want to learn more about their favorite artists-and artists who should be their favorites. This book presents hundreds of questions (plus matching puzzles, anagrams, and more), testing your knowledge of the history of rock and pop, with doses of blues, country, new wave, and indie rock. And it gives you the stories behind questions like these: Jimi Hendrix played on an early take of what landmark Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young tune? How are the Clash, Meatloaf, and the sitcom Night Court connected? What Sly & the Family Stone record was a response to a Marvin Gaye album? What rapper was the first artist to have his first five albums hit #1? For what Fleetwood Mac tune did they bring the USC marching band to Dodger Stadium? Plus, for every question there are recommended songs and albums, so you can listen along. Get the whole series from musicthatdoesntsuck.com.
