4.0 out of 5 stars These songs have a great beat & you can dance to them, May 29, 2001

By	Scott N. Burton (Bridgeport,CT USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

"American Bandstand" was certainly a forerunner to the modern day music video-It enabled us to see our favorite performers up close & personal-Dick Clark brought us all the big names:Buddy Holly,Jerry Lee Lewis,Stevie Wonder,The Beach Boys,Jefferson Airplane,Creedence Clearwater Revival,The Jackson Five,Prince,& even Madonna-This set gives you most of the big hits from the 50's to the 80's-With the exception of "The Twist","Worst That Could Happen" & "White Rabbit",all the songs in this collection are the original versions as you remember hearing them on the radio-A definite must purchase for any oldies fan.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Set!, August 7, 2000

By A Customer

The set from Q Records is wonderful - there are gems from every decade to be found on each CD, and the whole set is a great example of the growth of rock n'roll from the 50s to the 80s. You should buy this set!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Compilation!, May 27, 2000

By	"mslamitch" (Irvine, CA) - See all my reviews

This is a great sampling of four decades of pop/rock music! It's interesting to listen to all eight CDs chronologically and hear the subtle changes in music from the 1950s to 1980s. For anyone who watched the television program, "American Bandstand," and for those who are too young to remember it, this is an entertaining trip through time from Buddy Holly to the Pointer Sisters.
