If you buy one 80's compilation, make this it!
By Dane M. Marvin
If you're looking for a good variety of memorable 80's music and don't want to spend a lot of money, then pick up this 20-track jewel of a compilation CD. First of all, it has a good blend of the essential favorites--"Video Killed the Radio Star" (recently covered for the Wedding Singer), also "Come On Eileen" (as revived in Chris Farley's Tommy Boy as well as covered by the ska band Save Ferris), that great Tears for Fears song (which Dennis Miller now uses as his theme song), Tainted Love (the infectious song from the Pepsi commercial..."I've got to get away..."), and Madness' "Our House". Also included are guilty pleasures like the Wang Chung cut, Stray Cats' "Rock This Town", and Culture Club's "Karma Chameleon". The CD is marvelous and also the best 80's comp I have found thus far. A close second is the Millenium 80's New Wave Party from Rhino Records. Get them both if you crave the 80's!

Excellent collection for the price!
By Mark Savary
For the cost of the CD, this is a very good overview of the technicolor day-glo era.
There are of course the usual omissions that happen due to licencing and so on. The Bangles, Madonna, Price, Michael Jackson, Sting, etc. And there are no liner notes, which is disappointing.
However, this is an excellent collection of the 80's sound, and the price is right.

A Superb Sonic Sensation Of 80's Hits!
By A Customer
With the MTV debut song "Video Killed the Radio Star" and a generous 19 more keyboard-synth heavy songs that could have only come from the Reagan Era, this collection should appeal to the early to mid-80's MTV fans that remember when they spun "only" music video 24 hrs a day. As an "80's child" that graduated high school in '84, I think these songs serve as a great soundtrack to those days. I would definitely recommend this over any other single 80's CD out there. Hope there are more to follow!
