A step up from the so-so disc 2,
By William J. Eichelberger "I will not go quietly" (Ft. Thomas, KY) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Just Can't Get Enough: New Wave Hits Of The '80s, Vol. 3 (Audio CD)
As these discs go, #3 is fairly packed with goodies, some you've heard enough to make your bowels move, and some that are pretty cool surprises. Gary Numan's "Cars" kicks things off and sounds a lot better than I remember it sounding. Maybe I'm mellowing. The B-52's "Private Idaho", "What I Like About You" by The Romantics and Squeeze's "Tempted" all fit into the "heard it a million times" category, but since they're all pretty cool songs I decided to give them a pass. The most pleasant surprises on this volume are Rockpile's "Teacher Teacher" and "88 Lines About 44 Women" by The Nails. Uncovering nuggets like these are what makes this collection fun.

Best of the Series!,

This review is from: Just Can't Get Enough: New Wave Hits Of The '80s, Vol. 3 (Audio CD)
Unlike the other CDs in this series, every cut is a gem! Well known classics like "Cars", "Private Idaho" and "Teacher, Teacher" are combined with less well known (at least to me) equally great songs like "88 Lines", "Stool Pigeon" and especially "I Live in the City". I own vol 1-7 and 13; this is the best!

Top Of The Line,
By Carl Mack (Palm Springs, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Just Can't Get Enough: New Wave Hits Of The '80s, Vol. 3 (Audio CD)
This and Vol 5 are the best in the series. This is a good reflection of the diversity and talent of many of the 80's best. Many of the bands here had lenghty careers (XTC, Squeeze) while others made the most of thier 15 minutes of fame. How great to hear Visages "Fade To Grey" and Kid Creoles "Stool Pigeon" again. Great c.d., I highly recommend it.
