I never review items on Amazon but I had to give this one its props. My college radio station has been playing tracks off this comp for a few weeks and I finally bought it. I figured I'd only like a few songs (usual for comps), but this cd has like 15 killer tracks. Kristin Hersh doing Wave of Mutilation is my favorite as of today, but there are so many good ones that it's constantly changing. I recommend this one. Great songs, cool art, great liner notes, and an overall exceptional CD. Buy it!

My sister bought me the High School Reunion CD for xmas and I LOVE it!! It's like... fresh nostalgia. After opening it, all the 80's kids in the family had a listen and we competed to see who could be first to name the movie, the original artist, and the artist on the record. Even the gen x-ers/gen y-ers loved it.

My favorite tracks so far (and I've only had it for a day) is John P. Strohm covering Somebody's Baby, Kristin Hersh covering Wave of Mutilation, The Caulfield Sisters covering the Smiths, Matthew Sweet covering Tom Petty's "American Girl", and The Atomic Hep Cats covering Echo & the Bunnymen. AND... oh my gosh, Lori McKenna too. Her version of Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes" is soooooo beautiful. I keep playing it over and over. I also love some of the fun songs like Weird Science (it makes me want to dance), and Turning Japanese.

I highly recommend this CD. It is fun, fun, fun!!!

High School Reunion is a fun spin for anyone who grew up in the 80's. This collection is so much fun. It brought back so many memories of those terrific John Hughes and John Cusack films. I really enjoyed listening to this CD. It's a good one for your collection.
