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.

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.

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!

There are really some inspired choices here. This may be one of the only places where you'll find "Peter Gunn" and "Perfect Way." But more than that, this may be one of the best-sequenced compilations albums around. "Love Plus One" "If You Leave" and "True Faith" sound like they belong together, riding together on a crisp, percolating wave. Other choices may be more obvious, like the omnipresent "I Melt with You" and "Hold me Now," but I swear this thing provides an outstanding overall listening experience. I gotta lotta 80s, and this is absolutely in my top three of the greatest decade comps out there. There's stuff for the casual listener and hard-to-find stuff that will complete the collections of many die-hards. 'Shame it's out of print.

The 80's was a transition decade. And the music was very good, and the music was very inviting! If there is anyone that remembers this music such as rock and roll is great! So, if your a real fan, do pick it up!

I'm a true "child" of the 80's---I was 5 in '89. However, I do remember some songs from my childhood, and others are currently making comebacks. I'm so psyched that two of my favorite songs, "I Melt With You" (THE BEST!) and "I Want Candy" are on the album. I wish that "99 Red Balloons" by Nena was on the album--then it would be nearly perfect. I haven't heard all of the songs on the album yet, but it seems to be a decent compilation of 80's hits.
