3.0 out of 5 stars Not really the best of the eighties, July 21, 2005

This review is from: Best of the Eighties (Audio CD)

There are some tracks easily recognizable for anyone who was a teenager in the 80's, but most are unknown songs, sometimes played by famous groups, and sometimes don't.

A good set, but hardly qualifies to be called "Best of the eighties".

3.0 out of 5 stars It's the eighties... in Britain., September 12, 2007

This review is from: Best of the Eighties (Audio CD)

This set is a British import. So, the hits on it will, necessarily, surprise some American palettes. There are many by groups like The Proclaimers, Sigue Sigue Sputnik and Marillion that won't be recognizable but deserve a listen. No, it's not the best of the American eighties, but worth it if you can find a used copy. Especially when you consider what all of the tracks would cost you separately.
