5.0 out of 5 stars Those Were The Days-- Great New Wave Collection!, August 17, 2001
This review is from: Just Can't Get Enough: New Wave Hits Of The '80s, Vol. 5 (Audio CD)
The best entry in Rhino's awesome "New Wave Hits" series.(Volume 1 which covers the late 70's is also excellent).All 16 songs are culled from 1982 which was indeed a very good year for pop music. Haircut One Hundred's "Love Plus One" and Flock of Seagulls' "I Ran" were anthems of the(then) young MTV Generation. These quirky video darlings raged like a hurricane of fresh air in the face of bland corporate schlock which hogged the airwaves. Songs like the Go Go's "Vacation" and Tommy Tutone's "867-5309" were not only pure fun-- they were also well-crafted 3-minute pop gems. In fact, nearly every tune on volume 5 is cut from the same intelligent pop mold. Other standouts from this set include the vastly underrated Marshall Crenshaw's "Someday Someway", The Jam's "A Town Called Malice" and Soft Cell's absurdly humorous "Sex Dwarf". The only weak cuts are Gang of Four's "Man in Uniform" and the truly horrible "Art of Parties" by Japan. Overall, this is a fantastic collection which harkens back to a truly innovative time in pop music-- a brief time when catchy Hit Singles ruled and all possibilities seemed endless.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just Can't Get Enough vol. 5, July 9, 2000
By 
Elizabeth (St. Louis, MO USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Just Can't Get Enough: New Wave Hits Of The '80s, Vol. 5 (Audio CD)
I have 8 of the cd's in this series, and plan on getting the rest. This one is one of my favorite of the series. The song "Love Plus One" by Haircut One Hundred is a fabulous song. There are many other gems as well, such as "I Want Candy", "Someday, Someway" and "I Ran (So Far Away)". There are many obscure songs on here, so don't expect to know them all, unless you had an unbelievable vinyl collection in the 80's. The music hear can fit almost any mood you may be feeling. Pick it up and enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Moment In Time, March 29, 2009
This review is from: Just Can't Get Enough: New Wave Hits Of The '80s, Vol. 5 (Audio CD)

This is my favorite of the Just Can't Get Enough: New Wave Hits of the 80's series. I took the opportunity to review a dozen other volumes in the series however Vol. 5 is my favorite for a single reason...the inclusion of Valley Girl by the late Frank Zappa and his daughter Moon. I had this CD but needed to replace it because of a crack. Mickey by Toni Basil and Vacation from the Go-Gos are also in this set but Valley Girl made this a must have and I found it here.
