Not quite what I was looking for., February 9, 2002

I read another review that said this CD would have the radio version of "Rock Me Amadeus - Falco". I bought it just for that song, only to find out it's the remix. The CD is still worth the $x.xx for the other songs. - All of the other songs are the ones you would expect.

A So-So Hit and Miss, August 21, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Entertainment Weekly: Greatest Hits 1986 (Audio CD)
So-so collection from the year 1986 mixing gems like Timbuk 3's deeply cynical and scathing "The Future's So Bright I Gotta Wear Shades," Howard Jones' pensive "No One is To Blame," Eddie Money's comeback hit "Take Me Home Tonight" (rendered immeasurably essential thanks to the explosive vocals of Ronnie Spector) and The Dream Academy's wispy "Life in a Northern Town," with really lame cuts like Starship's "Sara," Glass Tiger's "Don't Forget Me," Mr. Mister's "Kyrie," Robert Palmer's "Addicted to Love" and Falco's gimmicky "Rock Me Amadeus." Missing from this collection are Steve Winwood's "Higher Love," Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer," Pet Shop Boys' "West End Girls," and Human League's "Human" (each of which was a #1 single in 1986). As a result the dross outnumbers the gems. Pass.
