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.

This is a "fun" book to read. filled with lots of information that even a casual rock & roll fan might be expected to know . It's a book of quiz's and i have to admit i was REALLY surprised at how much i just didn't know or remember. But, a word of warning,don't write your answers in the book if you intend to let a friend (or 2) take the quiz's after you, use a scratch pad instead. The Oldies Music Aptitude Test is very reasonably price and certainly fun to read.....dale

I just received the Oldies Music Aptitude Test and was very excited to meander through the artists that started it all. Boy what a disappointment! I would consider Oldies from 1954 to 1964-65 when the Motown movement came into full swing. Let me give you a few examples referenced in the book: LaBelle (1975 song), Meatloaf (1978 Song), Olivia Newton John(1975 Song), The Buoys (1971 song), Commodores (1981), John Cougar (1982) Bruce Springsteen, Ted Nugent (1976), Lynyrd Skynyrd, Da Ya Think I'm Sexy (1979) These are just a few examples. If you want a book that has little oldies trivia, but good music trivia of the `60s, `70s & `80s this is your book - If you looking for Oldies Trivia save your money. If your looking for good Oldies Trivia try Doo Wop and Rock & Roll both by Cousin Brucie, The Top Ten by Bob Gilbert and Gary Theroux, Rock 'n Roll Years, by Cresent Books, Half the book is pre '70s, Rock On Almanac by Norm Nite, half the book is pre '70s just to name a few.

passed the evening with some friends working thro this quiz book- questions different from the normal fare and we found many quite difficult . Pop questions assigned into such categories as Maths, Science, Social studies, Nonsense lyrics. You have to work thro the book answering questions and totaling your scores finally at the end. I would class this book as for pop officiandos.
