| CUSTOMER REVIEWS: | 5/5 - 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.
3/5 - 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!)
3/5 - 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. |
