A proposito di questo titolo

 A companion to the #1 music podcast on Spotify, this book takes readers 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.

Recensioni della critica

“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
“I love the 90s. I grew up in the 90s. I’m protective of the 90s. And the right person has stepped forward to lead us back into the 90s! This book is awesome. Robs podcast, and now his book, is my new best 90s companion. A+ all the way. Must read. “—Bobby Bones, host of The Bobby Bones Show
"Rob Harvilla understands how channel-surfing products of the 90s want their info. Quick, punchy, fun, moving on to the next thing before they even have time to think ab—. This book covers an entire decade of pop culture through a lightning-fast journey of deeply researched histories, funny personal asides, and often forgotten juicy gossip. You’d never expect a chapter that opens on Salt-N-Pepa to end on blink-182 (while touching on Bonnie Raitt, Nine Inch Nails, and Liz Phair along the way), but somehow, it does."—Dan Ozzi, author of SELLOUT: The Major-Label Feeding Frenzy That Swept Punk, Emo, and Hardcore (1994-2007)
"Gratitude for this book, which doesn't only allow a reader to sink into a kind of empty nostalgia, but adds a real generous weight and context to songs, and the world they existed in. I found myself building playlists while I read. This is an interactive, immersive delight."—Hanif Abdurraqib, author of A Little Devil in America: Notes in Praise of Black Performance
“Thankfully, Rob doesn’t aim for some grand unified theory of 90s music. Instead, his chapters blend history, personal experience, and cultural criticism into funny, insightful riffs. What a sellout.”—Rider Strong, actor, writer, and director
"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
