Having both graduated high school and college in the 1980s, my husband and I became fans of 80s music for life--in fact, our recent wedding was all 80s! We own at least 10 different 80s compilation CDs, and this is definitely one of the best. The album is very diverse: it includes the expected 80s pop hits such as "Mickey" by Toni Basil and "Walking on Sunshine" by Katrina and the Waves, but it also offers some great, lesser-know tunes, namely "Mary's Prayer" by Danny Wilson and "Don't Shed a Tear" by Paul Carrack. Similarly, not only does the CD feature big 80s rock bands such as J. Geils and Steve Miller, but also there are some one-hit wonder groups, including Johnny Hates Jazz and Cutting Crew. A wonderful blend of various styles from that great decade of music.

I bought this CD for some tunes to stick on my ipod. I got kind of sick of paying .99 per song. At this price I was able to get a lot of 80's music for way less than I would have paid at the itunes store. The music is nice and clear and brings back mems.

Let me recommend this CD in this respect: Generally, it was all-around the best representation of 80's quality music out of the three CD's I received from my shipment. I have enjoyed this one most of all.
