4.0 out of 5 stars Lights on the pine tree and more aftershave and not forgetting Jesus who was born on Christmas day., November 4, 2007

This review is from: Vh1: Big 80's Christmas (Audio CD)
This is a collection of Christmas songs by performers who are associated with the 1980s, although a few of them are more associated with the '70s in my mind. Not all of these songs were actually recorded during the '80s. Most of the songs are good, including classics and near classics by Billy Squire, the Waitresses, Queen, the Pretenders, Squeeze and the Ramones. But I don't really care for the song by Kate Bush. Overall, though, this is a pretty good collection.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Christmas songs you remember and missed from the 80s, December 14, 2003
This review is from: Vh1: Big 80's Christmas (Audio CD)
"VH-1: The Big 80's Christmas" brings together 15 holiday songs, most of which you probably heard at some point during that decade, including the classic David Bowie and Bing Crosby duet of "Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy." If you do not have this particular track in your collection then this album is one way of picking it up. The other keepers are the Waitresses doing the ultimate Christmas rap, "Christmas Wrapping," the Ramones ripping through "Merry Christmas (I Don't Wanna Fight Tonight)," and the cover of John Lennon's "Happy Christmas (War Is Over)" by the Alarm. After that it is a question of what speaks to your tastes, which means enjoying a couple of songs by performers I like that I do not remember hearing way back when, Pat Benatar's "Please Come Home for Christmas" and Kate Bush's "December Will Be Magic Again." Then you have to make up your mind about Los Lobos's interesting take on "Rudolph the Manic Reindeer" and it is a good thing that the "Twelve Days of Christmas" as rendered by Bob and Doug McKenzie (eh) is the last track on this album because there is just nowhere to go after that one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good 80's compilation, November 4, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Vh1: Big 80's Christmas (Audio CD)
I think that this CD is definitely worth adding to your Christmas collection. It does lack a few songs that I would have liked to have, but it is definitely worth owning. (especially if you can get it for less than $10)
