Top 1000 HITS OF THE ROCK ERA 1955-2005
To be honest, I was a little disapointed with my purchase. I was expecting the same information on artist and groups like the Joel Whitburns TOP 40 Hits. With info. on group members and original artists on the album. I personally like the trivia. I thought it was an updated version.
