How hardcore of an alt-rock fan are you? Find out through this trivia book!
The Pixies in Boston. Nirvana in Seattle. The Red Hot Chili Peppers in Los Angeles. While these alt-rock bands are world-renowned today, at the dawn of the '90s they were still largely defined by local music scenes. Before the mediation of MTV, VH1, or Apple Music, fans connected directly to alt-rock groups through word of mouth or via small local radio stations. Alt-rock grew out of a continuation of the college rock scene of the 1980s, where groups like R.E.M. had thrived outside of the national spotlight. As the '90s progressed, however, alt-rock bands received increasing mainstream exposure. Bands such as Pavement and Pearl Jam with cult followings made national airwaves–and gained national fan bases. A slow convergence of sounds from grunge to Britpop connected to the emotions of young people, and many alt-rock artists began outselling most pop artists. The distinct crunchy guitar, angst-filled yet melodic anthems infiltrated the ears of youth everywhere and normalized the counterculture, the weird, the outsider in each of us.
These experimental artists shaped mainstream rock from the '90s until today, where groups like Turnstile and Lever pay homage to original alt-rockers’ continued influence. Whether you are a die-hard fan who lived through, or perhaps came of age, in the eclectic musical decade that was the '90s or are just beginning to explore the weird and wonderful sounds of alt-rock, this trivia book will deepen your knowledge of music history and inspire your inner creative oddball. Test your knowledge of the inspiration behind some of the most famed songs, lyrics, and album art. Tune into the controversies (band breakups and record-label drama) and tragedies (addictions and losses) that shaped the fates of artists behind the music and the songs that reached our ears.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Ed Ward covers the first half of the history of rock & roll in this sweeping and definitive narrative - from the 1920s, when the music of rambling medicine shows mingled with the songs of vaudeville and minstrel acts to create the very early sounds of country and rhythm and blues, to the rise of the first independent record labels post-World War II, and concluding in December 1963, just as an immense change in the airwaves took hold and the Beatles prepared for their first American tour.

The history of heavy metal brings us extraordinary stories of larger-than-life characters living to excess, from the household names of Ozzy Osbourne, Lemmy, Iron Maiden and Metallica to the brutal notoriety of the underground Norwegian black metal scene and the New Wave of British heavy metal. It is the story of a worldwide network of rabid fans escaping everyday mundanity through music, of cutthroat corporate arseholes ripping off those fans and the bands they worship to line their pockets.

How fun!
We listened to this on a short road trip to a family reunion. And it was a fun way to pass time! I did terrible at the questions lol but my brother kicked butt.
My favorite part (besides getting a right answer!) was the explanation following the question. Just fun little facts to tuck away for future trivia :)

Great quiz book for rock fans!
The evolution of Alternative Rock since the early 1990s has expanded its styles and sounds significantly. When reflecting on "alternative rock," iconic bands like my favorite idol Kurt Cobain, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and The Red Hot Chili Peppers and others come to mind. Their raw and resonant music had a devoted following among the disillusioned youth of that era.
However, memories might have dimmed over time. This book has rekindled my appreciation for the genre's highlights, making it a truly commendable read. As a trivia enthusiast, I find it fitting for our family game nights, providing a nostalgic twist for my kids. Furthermore, the music history and anecdotes add an enriching layer to the book. It's an exceptional choice that I highly recommend!
