5.0 out of 5 stars Save hundreds on the one hit wonders!, November 30, 1999

Wayne R. Anderson (Colorado) - See all my reviews

This review is from: VH1: More of the Big 80's (Audio CD)

This CD is loaded with 1 hit wonders from the 80s I originally bought it for "Major Tom" and didn't want to buy Schillings CD for only one song. then I found out that this CD is full of songs like that. I ran, Obsession, Come on Eileen All songs I love on the radio are a part of my collection without having to buy all the individual CDs.This and the other VH1 CD are essentials for anyone that grew up in the 80s.

5.0 out of 5 stars Eighties Eightites Eighties!!!!, April 24, 2001

One hit wonders and just good eighties tunes. This is packed with them sort tunes you miss from such a great era. I have so many eighties tapes and CDs I keep collecting. I think this captured several really good songs on it and they are hard to track down songs. When it comes to to collections this one is tops. I can listen to these songs over and over again. Never tire of them. Guess the eighties will never die while I'm still breathing. :) I knew all the songs on this CD by heart and if you're an eighties fan you will too. It's a great gift for the eighties fan in your life too. That's where I get most of my tunes. People know I'm a hopeless eighties fan. :)

3.0 out of 5 stars OK compilation, December 28, 2000

By 

Pessimystica (Austin, TX) - See all my reviews

This review is from: VH1: More of the Big 80's (Audio CD)

This is a compilation full of mostly good songs, but most of them have gotten really old by now, esp. "Mickey". Don't particularly like the song order, it's almost too spontaneous, even for my various taste. A Flock of Seagulls "I Ran" is among 1 of my favorite songs, but it got cut off at the end!! 1 saving grace is putting Peter Schiling's "Major Tom" last. One main reason I had gotten this a few years ago was to replace the bad copies I had taped off the radio years before, so it served its purpose at the time. But now with cd burners, I have no desire to buy any more 80's compilations cuz you can just make your own. All in all, it's a good introduction into 80's music for those who aren't too familiar with it, even mainstream ones like most of these are.
