Not accurate transcriptions,
The sheet music and scores are not an accurate transcription of the recorded music by the artists. It’s okay if you just want to learn the melody and see MTV’s list. VH1′s version is much better. VH1′s list is also different where the songs have a different rating.

|Song listing here incorrect, notice the use of “Selections From”,
This book hides the “Selection From” which is in small type hidden above the “100 greatest pop songs” on the cover. It is a little less likely to be missed online but in the store you will miss it.
Do not rely on the listing on the back cover unless you look very carefuly at the fine print. Also, the list in the Amazon listing here is incorrect also. Someone entered the list from the back of the book and ignored the asterisks which say “Omitted from this publication…..licensing…”.
There are no songs by the Stones, Prince, Pearl Jam or Springsteen in this book though they are listed on the back and in this listing for this item.
Book is otherwise useful but those are some big names they’ve used to sucker you in.

|A shoddy job done to a good selection,
As the other review mentions these transcriptions are wrong in a lot of places. Example: The first three measures of “Oh Pretty Woman” by Roy Orbison is wrong. The book has a decent selection of music, but the transcription is lacking.
The good selection is the only reason I didn’t give it one star.
