From Brian Boone, author of the bestselling music trivia collection I Love Rock N' Roll (Except When I Hate It) and the stripped down follow-up Rock Lists for Obsessive Music Connoisseurs, Zealots, and Junkies, comes another hit-packed collection of fun, fascinating, and freaky facts about rock and pop music.
Liner Notes: Lists of Stuff You Didn't Know About the Bands, Songs, and Albums You Do is full of trivia, context, and stories about the most popular and dominant bands, singers, stars, hits, and misses of the past 50 years. But, like, wryly stated and with opinions from a music geek. For example:
• The most baffling leadoff singles from classic albums
• The worst lyrics and silliest album titles of all time
• The dirtiest innocent pop songs
• Singers who went solo and who were surprisingly unsuccessful
• Bands that formed out of spite
• Two-time one-hit wonders
• The secret life of Toto
• Plus the wildest, weirdest, and curious chart accomplishments and milestones, silly quizzes, egregious music awards show decisions, and much, much more
