Wow. Very nice pick, Jespher.
For my 18th selection, I'm going with a compilation from my generation's equivalent of MTV. Yep...American Bandstand.
Whooot!!!
American Bandstand - Box Set - 2007
If this collection doesn’t make my life on the island interesting, nothing will. I remember watching American Bandstand every Saturday morning, while my little brother screamed that it wasn’t fair. One of the joys of being the oldest was that I usually won the argument. This collection features 25 years worth of memories - while I’m pretty sure Dick Clark didn’t age a day during the whole time.
