This album ROCKS!!!!! I even played it on the road trip last summer (2004) in Alabama! The guitars are so charged up on this album! How Yes' rocking Owner of A Lonely Heart and Queen's Another One Bites the Dust weaves into Foreigner's Urgent! And they thought smart to include Pat Benatar's Heartbreaker and Billy Idol's Rebel Yell!!!! They were even smart to include Duran Duran's The Reflex, as it fits well with the arena rock concept! This whole CD would sound great playing in any arena around the world! There are some surprises, like Genesis' Land of Confusion, Asia's Heat of the Moment, 38 Special's Hold On Loosely and the album takes a bluesy turn with Dire Straits' Sultans of Swing. And the album closes big and loud with Loverboy's full-charged song Working for the Weekend! They thought smartly on the vibe, feel and sequence of the songs. Get ready to crank up the stereo to 10 or 11 (but don't hurt your ears too much) because this CD will surprise you and have you dancing and rocking!!! You will feel like you've been run over by high winds after you hear it!!!! It's that good!!!!!

When I saw this show and heard some of the songs on VH1. I immedeatly went out and bought this cd. Beleve me it is worth ever penny of it. Exellent songs, but the best is byfar the song by Yes. BYE THIS NOW

VH-1's latest CD "The Big 80's-Arena Rock" is quite good-The listener will hear a cross section of the types of songs that dominated the airwaves-My two favorite tracks are "Sultans Of Swing" & "Working For The Weekend"-If you're still feeling nostalgic for the 1980's,you might want to consider giving this CD a listen-Scott Burton

was a little upset that products ordered from same person were mailed separately & THIRD PRODUCT WAS NOT REC'D EVEN THOUGH IT HAD BEEEN LISTED AS AVAILABLE

I almost bought this album.. thank goodness for the song list that included such sad, sorry songs as "We Built This City", Hold On Loosly", and "Heart of Rock & Roll". I saved a lot of dollars. The rest of it had some promise. I am a HUGE fan of '80s music, but these songs were so over-played, I'm still sick of them.
