Excellent selection!

This is an 80's cd that I always love to find. Numerous music selections that have been my favorites for years. I should buy another copy because I am wearing this one out.

Hits and unfortunately many misses

This is not a bad compilation at all, it only suffers from the thing that all compilation suffer from - it tries to be somehow perfect. One has to remember that no compilationcan be perfect. And for the 80's, a single CD is not too much even if it contains some of the biggest hits. I miss many bands and singers here - for example A-Ha, Modern Talking,... Anyway it is worth listening to it as there are many good songs here. Nevertheless there are many lots of better compilations out there.

Pretty good 80s compilation

I'd rate this in the average to above-average category as far as compilations of 80s music go. There are some good songs here, but not enough new wave/modern rock/synth-pop (insert adjective here) for my personal taste.

For example, although I like Belinda Carlisle's "Heaven is a Place on Earth," I wouldn't pair it with some of these other songs and artists, once example being Men Without Hats. Speaking of them, I was disappointed to discover that the version of "Safety Dance" is the short version, which does not include the best part, where the ethereal woman's voice echoes out "S-A-F-E-T-Y dance."

In summation, however, I do not regret buying this CD, because it has enough songs I like to make it worth the investment. (I was especially happy that they included "Axel F" by Harold Faltermeyer, because that is quite hard to find!)
