4.0 out of 5 stars Worth the money, August 25, 2000

By	Gabe Ferguson (Belgrade, MT USA) - See all my reviews

The 1988 Billboard Top Hits album was not one of the better 80s Billboard albums, but it definitely contains some songs to savor. "Wild Wild West" is a great song with a strong message. "Shattered Dreams" and "The Flame" are memorable songs that have their place. And Billy Ocean's "Get Outta My Dreams, Get Into My Car" is one of my all-time favorite songs. The rest of songs can be discarded as far as I'm concerned, especially Bobby McFerrin's grossly overrated "Don't Worry, Be Happy". I practically scream in pain every time I hear it.
