1988
This album features many top 40 hits from 1988. it is a good collection of the hits from 1988 but where is Rick Astley? or Tiffany or Debbie Gibson? but it does feature Expose, and Robert Palmer. The Jets "Rocket 2 U" is a great song and Laura Branigan's "The Power Of Love" was a top forty hit and was remade by Celine Dion. I recommend this album...

Rock On's 1988 collection has some very strong songs that are offset by some less than stellar work.

1988 Hits, August 16, 2001
This review is from: Rock On: Top 40 Chartbusters 1988 (Audio CD)
Rock On's 1988 collection has some very strong songs that are offset by some less than stellar work. Bobby McFerrin's acapella goofy, offbeat song "Don't Worry Be Happy" was a surprise number one hit and walked off with the Grammies for Record & Song Of Year. Robert Palmer's "Simply Irresistible" is basically a rewrite of his "Addicted To Love", but it is an enjoyable song anyway. White Lion had a hit with "Wait" which is pure hair metal and Paul Carrack had a welcomed top ten hit with the sublime "Don't Shed A Tear". Sheriff's powerful "When I'm With You" only reached the lower level of the charts when it was originally released in 1982, but it hit number one in 1988 when power ballads were in vogue. Belinda Carlisle had another top ten hit with the plucky "I Get Weak". Expose's "Season Change" is pure corn, The Jets' "Rocket 2 U" is garbage and Johnny Hates Jazz's "shattered Dreams" is forgettable.
