3.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good 80s compilation, April 15, 2002

This review is from: The '80s Hit(s) Back! (Audio CD)

I'd rate this in the average to above-average category as far as compilations of 80s music go. There are some good songs here, but not enough new wave/modern rock/synth-pop (insert adjective here) for my personal taste.

For example, although I like Belinda Carlisle's "Heaven is a Place on Earth," I wouldn't pair it with some of these other songs and artists, once example being Men Without Hats. Speaking of them, I was disappointed to discover that the version of "Safety Dance" is the short version, which does not include the best part, where the ethereal woman's voice echoes out "S-A-F-E-T-Y dance."

In summation, however, I do not regret buying this CD, because it has enough songs I like to make it worth the investment. (I was especially happy that they included "Axel F" by Harold Faltermeyer, because that is quite hard to find!)

This is an 80's cd that I always love to find. Numerous music selections that have been my favorites for years. I should buy another copy because I am wearing this one out.
