Dick clark in the 50
Whether or not all of the artists and songs represented on this CD boxed set of oldies spanning the s into the '80s were actually featured on American Bandstand is never made clear, but the implication is that, more so than any other TV program, AB was where the music went to be heard first during the show's long run. There is some validity to that claim -- very few major recordings artists didn't welcome the exposure that Bandstand offered, but this set isn't so much a nod to the show itself as the latest in a long string of cleverly marketed products from Dick Clark , who has never been shy about slapping his own name or that of his brand onto a package. Broken down into six double-disc sets, the songs are divvied up thematically, though one could easily make a case for nearly any of these records to appear on a different volume than it does. And so on. The other sets -- "Rock Around the Clock," "Dance, Dance, Dance," "Good Vibrations," and "Bandstand Boogie" -- may suggest moods, but in the end they're programmed fairly randomly, just a good excuse to put together a couple of hundred AM hits and sell them once again. A bonus DVD has the only direct connection to the fabled program, containing ten short interviews with artists taken from American Bandstand's archives.

If the producers of the show were to select a mascot to symbolize its rich history, they would be forced to resurrect the dead half of Milli Vanilli. Of course, even dead, Milli or is it Vanilli? Incidentally, has McMahon ever considered that the poisonous mold that chased he and his wife from their mansion, after strangling their pooch like Michael Myers, might actually be a hilarious gag soon to be televised to the unrestrained joy of millions?
