Os 24 Maiores Sucessos da Era do Rock! (The Age of Rock's 24 Greatest Hits) is an album of late 1950s and early 1960s-era rock songs and Jovem Guarda covered by Brazilian singer and guitarist Raul Seixas. The album's 1975 pressing was retitled 20 Anos de Rock.
Raul maintained that the real rock 'n' roll was finished in 1959, with the departure of Elvis Presley into the army. In 1973, he decided to honor what he felt was the "real rock" and offered to rewrite a selection of hits of the genre, pinched between American classics from Little Richard, Carl Perkins, Ronnie Self, The Platters, Neil Sedaka, and Brazilians such as Eduardo Araujo, Celly Campello, Roberto Carlos and Erasmo Carlos. Raul was, however, forbidden by the record company to put his name on the cover, because it thought the album could hurt sales of Krig-Ha, Bandol—the solution was to credit the album to a certain band called Rock Generation, with Raul credited as production director. The album did not have any kind of disclosure and ended up being forgotten in stores initially, but with albums Krig-Ha, Bandol and Gita having achieved great sales figures, the label Phonogram eventually disseminated what it thought to be the best tracks from the album.
