À propos de cet audio

A companion to the #1 music podcast on Spotify, this book takes listeners through the greatest hits that define a weirdly undefinable decade.

The 1990s were a chaotic and gritty and utterly magical time for music, a confounding barrage of genres and lifestyles and superstars, from grunge to hip-hop, from sumptuous R&B to rambunctious ska-punk, from Axl to Kurt to Missy to Santana to Tupac to Britney. In 60 SONGS THAT EXPLAIN THE '90s, Ringer music critic Rob Harvilla reimagines all the earwormy, iconic hits Gen Xers pine for with vivid historical storytelling, sharp critical analysis, rampant loopiness, and wryly personal ruminations on the most bizarre, joyous, and inescapable songs from a decade we both regret entirely and miss desperately.

Ce que les critiques en disent

“Somehow, Rob Harvilla brings new light to the songs and artists that we grew up with and thought we already fully understood. Turns out, there’s so much more depth, nuance, tragedy, and humor to be discovered. This book made me tear up about party anthems, marvel at discarded one-hit wonders, and laugh out loud at deadly-serious ballads. This is more than a tribute to the music that scored our childhoods; it’s an exploration of how the songs somehow mean even more to us now. (Also: Rob’s mom is right about U2).”—Elie Honig, CNN Senior Legal Analyst and bestselling author

"60 SONGS THAT EXPLAIN THE '90s is an increasingly rare thing: A book about pop music that's legitimately funny. Whether or not these songs actually 'explain' the 1990s is irrelevant, because they inadvertently explain something far more interesting—they explain how songs feel to a person who can't think about life in any other way, and who ultimately understands who they are now through the prism of who they used to be and what they used to like."—Chuck Klosterman, New York Times bestselling author of The Nineties

"Rob Harvilla is my kind of writer: Smart, funny, infectiously joyous, and full of heart. Let me emphasize the 'writer' part—if you only know Rob from his delightful podcast, you are about to learn that his mix of critical analysis, cultural journalism and self-effacing Midwestern dad humor is just as entertaining on the page as it is on 60 SONGS THAT EXPLAIN THE '90s. This book is like that friend from high school that you don't see much anymore, but when you do hang out it instantly feels like old times."—Steven Hyden, author of Twilight Of The Gods
