Editorial Reviews

Review

"A wonderful collection of rock 'n roll questions... I especially got a kick out of the fascinating classifications." -- Dusty Rhodes, WGRR, Oldies 103.5, Cincinnati

"Anyone who grew up in the golden age of Rock 'n Roll won't be able to put this book down!" -- Bob Walker, "The Oldie King," Oldies KOOL-95.5, New Orleans

"Great categories and creative questions make this a must-have for those who think they know it all!" -- Kitty Loewy, CD-94.7, Chicago

"I give [it] an A+! You gotta pass this rock and roll quiz if you wanna dance with me!" -- Richie Rotkin, The Rip Chords

"If you are going to have any book on Rock 'n Roll Trivia, this should be it!" -- Dick Biondi, Oldies 104.3, WJMK, Chicago

"If you are going to have any book on Rock 'n Roll trivia, this should be it!" -- Dick Biondi, Oldies 104.3, WJMK, Chicago

"What a fabulous trip down memory lane...back to the time when rock was defined!" -- Brian R. Corbishley, The Extreme Trivia Challenge

"[A] clever, well-written and much needed collection of oldies puzzlers that will challenge rookies and experts alike." -- Ron Smith, Oldiesmusic.com

"[The] entertaining and cleverly thought out categories and questions will even make you laugh out loud." -- Kel Waddle, Access To The Music Zone


Product Description

If the SATs measured what Boomers really learned during high school, you'd find "A wop bop a loo bop, a lop bam boom" on the Foreign Language test, the Chemistry exam would be about love songs, and the Grammar quiz would include "Ain't No Woman Like The One I Got." These and many more tests-with-a-twist await readers of The Oldies Music Aptitude Test: Trivia Fun for Armchair Deejays. Not your run-of-the-mill Q&A trivia book, the 600 questions are grouped by irreverent musical categories such as nonsense lyrics, musical maladies, and repetitive titles, all capped off with a hilarious final score interpretation. A nostalgic delight, The Oldies Music Aptitude Test is the entertaining and informative book Boomers will embrace for reminiscing about the glory days of Rock 'n Roll.

5.0 out of 5 stars A lot of fun!, May 7, 2001
By Music Lover (Cincinnati, OH) - See all my reviews
This is a fun trivia book about the best music during the best music era! Even if you're not an expert (and I'm not) you'll really get a kick out of this book. I brought it with me to a party with other baby boomers and we had a blast!

5.0 out of 5 stars This One Rocks!, March 9, 2001
By Beatlsbaby (South Florida) - See all my reviews
Think you know all there is about oldies music? The Oldies Music Aptitude Test will make you think again! This fun and informative book will take you back in time and test your memory on all the songs you grew up on. Even if you hated those pop quizzes back in school, youll love this one. Set up by subjects, this book covers it all - the best and worst rock-n-roll of days gone by.

Interesting, entertaining, funny and educational, this book will challenge your mind as well as whats left of your memory! It is truly a great way to relive the music of our youth.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best seller on Oldiesmusic.com two years in a row, January 1, 2003
By Shirley (New England) - See all my reviews
There had to be something to all the praise over at Oldiesmusic.com about this book. So I bought it and now I understand. This is one truly different and fun trivia book. You know all those "multiple-guess" (yawn!) trivia books? Thankfully, this isn't like those at all! This one has funny categories and it's actually humorous! There are clever cartoons too that oldies lovers will really appreciate. Just take a look at the cover art, hahaha!

Spread the word, this is a super fun book and why it's not available in "real" bookstores is beyond comprehension. My college reunion is coming up and I'll bring this along with my lava lamp and Desiderata poster to set the mood. ;->

Best $... I ever spent on a trivia book, I must say!

Hohoho
