4.0 out of 5 stars No fluffly late eighties here, October 9, 2000

By 

Catherine M Wolfram (Vista, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: 18 Modern Rock Classics From the 80's (Audio CD)

The perfect eighties music compilation, if you don't like bands like Poison or other songs like the sort. It has the can't live without song "If You Leave" by OMD. And a nice mix of other earlier 80's songs that you have grown to really like. I picked this one because the other 80's cd's threw in some artists that really didn't blend well on the same disc. Definetely the right choice.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the better 80's collections, March 28, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: 18 Modern Rock Classics From the 80's (Audio CD)

For the price, this CD is one of the better collections of 80's songs that I have seen. It has some stuff that is on many other collections, but it also has some songs that are harder to find, such as True Faith by New Order, which is one of the great songs of the 80's, and Smalltown Boy, by Bronski Beat. The campy You Spin Me Around (which Adam Sandler did a hilarious version of in the Wedding Singer) is also one of the highlights.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great 80's CD., August 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: 18 Modern Rock Classics From the 80's (Audio CD)

This CD has many of the hard-to-find-on-one-CD songs from the 80's, like Art Of Noise and True Faith! If you're a true 80's fan AND lived it (I'm 25), then you will know what I'm talking about. This is a solid collection to your 80's collections. Other songs like Bronski Boy and Things Can Only Get Better are also great memories to remember. Get this CD!
