While not the definitive Eddie Money set(since it lacks his late-70's monster hits "Baby Hold On" and "Two Tickets To Paradise"),it still is concise,fun complation of his biggest 80's hits including "Take Me Home Tonight","Walk On Water","I Think I'm In Love","Shakin","I Wanna Go Back" and "Peace In Our Time",plus such minor hits as "The Big Crash","Endless Nights"and "The Love In Your Eyes"(the latter two were not included on "The Essential" set).The sound is surperb and the liner notes(by Michael Hill)are pretty darn fine as well.

YES, this is Eddie Money in the 80's. All his 80's hits are on this great cd. Baby Hold On TO Me, and Two Tickets To Paradise came out in the 70's. Get over it people....

There must be some unwritten rule that whenever a record company releases a "best of" compilation, the artist in question's die hard fans - who are the least likely to need the compilation in the first place - come out of the woodwork screaming about how they left off this song or that song. In the case of the Eddie Money "We Are the 80's" compilation, the omission of "Two Tickets to Paradise" and "Baby Hold On" seems to have the Eddie Money die-hards riled up. Guess what, folks? Those songs came out in the 1970's, which means they have no business on a compilation called "We Are the 80's"! It's not that hard to figure out.

I'm glad we cleared that up, because this is actually a very good compilation album. Eddie Money was one of the best, and most overlooked, artists of the 80's. The man's steady voice and sax, combined with the fact that he worked with a fantastic group of songwriters, resulted in some of the best pop songs of the decade (and that's saying a lot, considering the wealth of great pop songs that came from the 1980's).

The "We Are the 80's" collection, which ties into the VH1 Classic (greatest channel ever) program of the same name, features 14 of Money's best known songs from the decade, including "Take Me Home Tonight", "Walk on Water", and "I Wanna Go Back." All of the songs have been digitally remastered for the best possible sound. And if that's not enough, the disc is pretty cheap too! Serious Eddie Money fans probably have all of these songs already, but this is a great album for those of us who want a great sounding, affordable way to hear so many of the songs that were part of the soundtrack to our lives in the 1980's.
