This is the 3rd book I ever bought on piano playing. This books provides exciting music sheets for the songs that are most people's favors. It has simple clear instructions on piano playing. It is a nice book if you want to learn piano playing in an inspirational way.

The #1 reason I love this book is that it appeals to the mid-range piano level. I am at a lesson level 4-5 playing ability and have found Dan Coates to be my favorite arranger. I would love to be able to play the advanced concertos like my husband can, but I'm not there yet. However, I am bored to tears with most of the sheet music labeled "Easy Piano" out there. There's only so much fun you can have with the left hand always playing the C or G chord. I love Dan Coates arrangements because he takes you beyond that. These songs interested me and motivated me to WANT to be at the piano. Dan Coates books alone helped me add an extra octave to my repertoire in just a week. The #2 reason I love this book is well, I love the 90's! The songs Dan Coates chooses to do arrangements of are favorites of mine. There's a little something for everyone in this book. You can't lose with this one.

I just received this book yesterday and in the few songs that I played, I noticed spelling/lyrical errors. I always understood "Wind Beneath my Wings" to say "a beautiful face without a name...for so long...a beautiful smile to hide the pain", but in this book, the lyrics are "only a face without a name, I never once heard you complain"...???? If this is another version, I would rather have the well-known version. And I never knew Jewel's "You Were Meant For Me" said "I've got my eggs and my pancacks, too". I like the song selection...

A truly fun book of great piano pieces that aren't too hard, nor too easy. One of the best books of piano music I have purchased in years. Great for all ages.

I was overjoyed to find Dan Coates' 100 Pop Hits of the 90's. My daughter recently left for university and we had quite a round of negotiation to see who, exactly, got to keep the book! I finally decided it was just as easy to buy a second copy so that both my daughter and I could enjoy the music!

The book was included in the purchase of our electronic keyboard a number of years ago and became a solid family favourite because of its excellent song selection, and interesting arrangements that were easily mastered. I also very much appreciate that the scores are relatively easy to read. The one and only complaint I have is that on an electronic keyboard, I have to use a clothespin to keep the book open (it flops around a bit because the book is quite thick and our keyboard sheet music holder is too short). This is not a problem on our "regular" upright piano though.

I highly recommend Dan Coates 100 Pop Hits of the 90's for anyone who is looking for something which gives some interesting easy listening arrangements for both piano and electronic keyboard. Excellent value for the money.
