3.0 out of 5 stars If you are going to do it,do it right., October 14, 2001

By	"honeydick" (Toronto Canada) - See all my reviews

While this box set may be a good overview of the 80's it however left out some pretty big bands and singers. Where is michael jackson? Madonna? Duran Duran? Bruce Sprinstine? i could go on. I could forgive these oversights if "Billboard" wasn't part of this box set's title; billboard is suppose to be the definitive authority when it comes to top hits and music charts so to put out such a box set with the above glaring omissions kind of leaves one short changed. Stil, a nice collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yay for the 80s!, May 14, 1998

By A Customer

For anyone who loved the 80s as much as I did, this is a total must have in your collection. Included are some great standards ("Take on Me", "Broken Wings") as well as some songs you never thought you'd hear again (and won't admit you still want to) like "Wild Wild West" and "Toy Soldiers". Buy this. You will listen to it over and over and over...

5.0 out of 5 stars Maybe This Will Help?, August 28, 2004

By	tpf2 - See all my reviews

First off, I won't argue what's here because these songs are good enough to be in this collection. Now that I got that out of the way, here is the real problem: licencing. Madonna and company are not here for that reason alone. However, by looking at the song list, you may buy the songs you want but don't have. You can also buy each CD separately. There are other options then this to summerize.
