It was a pretty radical idea - a channel for teenagers, showing nothing but music videos. It was such a radical idea that almost no one thought it would actually succeed, much less become a force in the worlds of music, television, film, fashion, sports, and even politics. But it did work. MTV became more than anyone had ever imagined. I Want My MTV tells the story of the first decade of MTV, the golden era when MTV's programming was all videos, all the time, and kids watched religiously to see their favorite bands, learn about new music, and have something to talk about at parties.

No one other than Warren Zanes, rocker and writer and friend, could author a book about Tom Petty that is as honest and evocative of Petty's music and the remarkable rock and roll history he and his band helped to write. Born in Gainesville, Florida, with more than a little hillbilly in his blood, Tom Petty was a Southern shit kicker, a kid without a whole lot of promise. Rock and roll made it otherwise.

From the do-or-die early days of self-financed recordings and D.I.Y. concert productions that were as flashy as they were foolhardy, to the multi-platinum, MTV-powered glory years of stadium-shaking anthems and chart-topping power ballads, to the ultimate crash when grunge bands like Nirvana forever altered the entire climate of the business, Tom Beaujour and Richard Bienstock's Nothin' But a Good Time captures the energy and excess of the hair metal years in the words of the musicians and industry insiders who lived it.

A Brief History of America provides an overview of the modern history of the United States of America through the lens of the two-party political system. It explores the good, the bad, the right, and the wrong of one of the modern world's greatest superpowers. In the aftermath of the 2020 election, the world bore witness to the noxious political atmosphere in the United States and the deep divisions between its citizens. To those living in the present day, it would seem like American society is hurtling down a path of increasing incivility and polarization.

Going in to the book I had the thought it was going to be all pop culture but it had everything. I was born in 87 so it was really awesome hearing about all the stuff that was happening around the time I was born. I'm really loving all the Bill O'Neill trivia books.

1980's history
Even back when I was a history major in college in early "twenty-teens", I did not learn all that much about American history post WW-II, and I can't ever remember a course covering past the Civil Rights era of the 1960's. So it was a real pleasure to finally learn about the 80's in a fun and informative manner.
Mike Alger, the narrator, is your typical historical narrator. Everything is pronounced crisply and the tone flows smoothly, although he does occasionally forget to give subtle vocal clues that he's moved from a body paragraph to a new heading.
This 90's kid learned a lot, and I bet you will too.

Wonderful trip down memory lane
This is the third Bill O'Neill trivia audiobook that I've listened to, and it's as enjoyable as the others. I was a teenager during the 80s and, like most GenX'ers, I have a soft spot in my heart for this formative decade. My experience of the 80's was viewed through the rose-coloured filter of youth, so an audiobook like this is a useful reminder of the not-so-rosy aspects of that decade. Nostalgia aside, O'Neill has got a good formula here with the way he structures these books. Interesting and informative, with lots of details organized into a short volume organized by year. O'Neill has used different narrators for each of the trivia audiobooks I've heard so far, and all have been excellent choices. Mike Alger has a great voice for this type of audiobook.

An Enjoyable Listen
This book is an overlook of the 1980s and is done very well. Mr. O'Neill brings the trivia across in an interesting way. He not only touches on the frivolous times of the 80s he also reminds us of the important things which came to pass during this decade. For those of us who grew up in this period, it's a recap and for those who came after, it's a way to learn what happened. The narrator did a wonderful job telling the snip-its of this time.

5 star trivia review of the 80’s.
Having grown up during the 80’s, it has always been my most favorite decade. Listening to this book was a great “Blast from the Past”. Mr. O’Neill picked the best of the decade for this volume of trivia. This book brought back so many great memories and also reminded me of some of the serious events that I have forgotten. The narrator, Mike Alger did a great job. My first book my Bill O’Neill and I can wait to read more of his works.
