2.0 out of 5 stars A pretty average collection of 80s 'safe' hard-pop/soft rock, March 24, 2002

By 

Jon (Scotland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Chart Toppers: Rock Hits of the 80s (Audio CD)

For the record, I didn't enjoy this CD much. All the songs featured are genuine hits, but notwithstanding their chart success, this is a pretty average collection of 80s 'safe' hard-pop/soft rock. Only a few of the tracks grabbed my attention: "Rock This Town" by the Stray Cats (the first 45rpm I ever bought!), "Keep On Lovin' You" (REO Speedwagon) and Crowded House's, "Don't Dream It's Over" (which was a bigger hit when re-released in the 90s). The rest, unfortunately, are quite forgettable. This album is reasonably priced, and worth getting if you want to discover the 80s. But Amazon *does* sell better compilations than this.....

Jon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Value! 15 songs, no fillers!, July 30, 1999

This review is from: Chart Toppers: Rock Hits of the 80s (Audio CD)

15 awesome songs at less than $1 a song, and no fillers (maybe except Sowing the Seeds of Love, I don't remember it topping any charts). Possibly the best one-disc 80's compilations available!

4.0 out of 5 stars RetroCool!, May 29, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Chart Toppers: Rock Hits of the 80s (Audio CD)

This CD is very good, there's songs on it that aren't on many popular 80's CD's. I recommend it.
