“Sweet Love” from readers of
Ultimate Mix Tape.

“I typically find nostalgic quiz books too full of themselves and stuffy, despite trying to pass for cool. But Dever’s Ultimate Mix Tape finds that sweet spot between knowledge and fun that has been so sorely missing from all previous contenders.

Rather than a laundry list of “What year was this,” and “Who played drums on that” type questions, UMT instead leans into the joy invoked by the pop culture surrounding GenX-era music. Readers are rewarded not just for their musical knowledge, but for making connections between artists, lyrics, and general music & pop culture trivia.

If you are a fan of ’70s & ’80s music who also appreciates this kind of creativity, just click Buy-It-Now. You can thank me later.”
