5.0 out of 5 stars My Favorite 80s Music Is All Here, November 12, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Brat Pack Years (Audio CD)

Wow. I found this CD at a local store (sorry amazon, I didn't know you had it), and the first thing that caught my attention is the cool cover. You can't see it on the web, but the CD comes in a shiny pink metallic-looking cardboard box. Very 80s, which is just fine with me. Then I realized that ALL the songs are from movies like Breakfast Club, Pretty In Pink, 16 Candles, etc. And the music: Simple Minds, Howard Jones, Spandau Ballet, The Bangles. I was so psyched to see them all on one CD. And there's a cool INXS song that I don't think is on any of their albums. I was really surprised to find a negative review here. Obviously that person doesn't like 80s movies & music. This is one of the best compilations I've ever gotten, and it looks really cool in my collection. Buy it. You won't be disappointed.

This CD is such a great rememberance of an era! It brings me back to the 80's - a decade I remember so fondly - my favorite movies, fashions, hair styles and songs. When I first put it on I felt like I was in college again and the liner notes/booklet gave me such a chuckle and reminded me of so many crazy good times. A great collection of songs and a wealth of material in the booklet....When can I get volume 2?

As one more 80's junkie,... This album is a wonderful compilation with a great package that is very reminicent of what I remember the 80's to be like. It's garish? Well....duh! That WAS the 80's! The music selection is a great line up that you'll never tire of hearing. Yeah, they could have put one or two songs on here instead of this one or that one but it's just a compilation. It's not a definitive be all, end all of 80's soundtrack music. You just gotta enjoy it for the great music that it is!
