5.0 out of 5 stars Still sounds good to me 30 years later, March 31, 2005

By	Ryan A. Rigg - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I can still remember it like it was yesterday. I was probably 10 years old, and I was shopping in Princeton, IN with my parents. We went into a corner five & dime/drugstore (remember them...weren't they great!), and there was this Bay City Rollers Greatest Hits album. I persuaded my mom to buy it for me, even though I was not familiar with most of their songs other than "Saturday Night". At that young age, I had a huge crush on their 4 handsome faces on the album cover. I took the album home and played it on my Donny & Marie Record Player. It was pure bliss. I loved every song. I took the album to school and played it during music class when we would get to bring in records from home. My mother being English, I also liked the fact that they were from Scotland. In a couple of years, they faded from view and were never heard from again. When I found this CD, I had to buy it to relive those wonderful days of my childhood. I have played it many times, and I still get a thrill when I hear these songs. My two favorite songs are the ballad "The Way I Feel Tonight" and the rocking "Yesterday's Hero".

Since this CD was issued, I see that they have released a "Definitive Collection" that includes other songs that were hits overseas before they became successful in the States. I suppose the diehard fans prefer that collection. But I prefer this one since it preserves my memories of these 10 classic songs from the 70's as I remember them. Critics can say what they want, and they can lambast this music for being empty, vapid, bubblegum pop. But for those of us who loved the Rollers, they can't take away our memories of a simpler time in our lives. And in the end, isn't that all that matters anyway.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Sampling of BCR Music!, May 3, 2002

By A Customer

Of course they weren't the Beatles, Bach or Beethoven - but they weren't supposed to be! They were a great group in their own right and made a lot of teenage girls swoon (me included) at the time. The music is still the best (never really did like the Beatles in the first place) as far as I'm concerned. You can't go wrong with this album!

5.0 out of 5 stars All The Hits Are Here, June 20, 1998

By A Customer

Includes all their American chart entries, including "Saturday Night." Fair liner notes, though one wishes that the band members had contributed to them.
