4.0 out of 5 stars Surprisinlg Good, Given the Usual Standard of This Series, March 17, 2004

This review is from: Entertainment Weekly: Greatest Hits 1984 (Audio CD)

The Entertainment Weekly compilation from the year of "Big Brother" is quite possibly the strongest in the series. Sure, there are the obligatory throwaways that each title always has (in this case Ray Parker Jr's annoying "Ghostbusters" and Bananarama's fluffy "Cruel Summer") but this is more than offset but some real pop nuggets including Culture Club's catchy "Karma Chameleon," The Cars lovely "Drive," Hall and Oates blue-eyed soul gem "Out of Touch" and two absolutely gorgeous songs in Eurythmics' "Here Comes the Rain Again," and Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time" (the later of which has richly earned its status as a pop standard). All in all a good and concise, if somewhat flawed, time capsule of 1984.
