PRICELESS!!!.......2007-06-23

The songs"Sailing"and "Never Gonna Let You Go"are worth the price of the entire album itself!!I listen to"Sailing"and nearly fall asleep,just envisioning,spending an entire summer,escaping lifes' hardships'sailing peacefully,through the Great Lakes,watching the sun glistening,off the waters' surface...."Never Gonna Let You Go"is a beautifully INTENSE and heartfelt love song!!Sergio actually takes a backseat(in my eyes)to whoever that husky/sexy-voiced woman is that he's singing with/to!!! This song is so"alive"with sincere passion,that I routinely play it at LEAST 7 times each day!!Actually the ENTIRE album is WONDROUS,so,I simply expounded on my two FAVORITES!!Everybody should own this disc!!When you get it,you can basically break of the "forward"button on your disc player,while you're playing this gem,cause it's HIT after HIT from the first track to the last!!

This Brings Me Back..........2007-01-24

I've been searching for a CD to add to my collection of all those love songs that I remember from middle and high school. My favorite song on this CD is Sergio Mendez' Never Gonna Let You Go, which was the first song I ever slow danced to as a teenager. If you are looking for a single CD to bring you back to a time when you had your first slow dance, your first kiss, or your first girlfriend/boyfriend, then this one is for you.

Customer Reviews:

Love This CD.......2007-01-12

I am in my late 30's and grew up listening to these songs. Love them, a must have for all you who grew up listening to the songs. Reminds me of special times.

Second rate commercial pap will always suck........2006-01-09

It doesn't matter when or where the music comes from, if its characterised by dull chord progressions, hackneyed lyrics and lousy production it will never stand the test of time. The songs in this compilation will NEVER NEVER make the grade. I grew up in the eighties, and this collection of truly awful radio hits is testimony to the conservatism that characterised programming at this time. Images of overweight realtors and shopping mall managers twisting and frooging to this dreck at their local beer barn permeate my tortured consciousness. Thank God Nirvana and other bands with integrity came along and changed all that.

80s hits .......2005-12-31

ill probably still be listening to 80s hits when im 80 yrs old. this decade generated some of the greatest songs of all time.

Excellent collection of some overlooked '80s hits.......2005-04-11

I've had this CD for 4 years and still love it! I like the green packaging, for neon colors were so common in the '80s. There are some songs here that were hits, but surprisingly overlooked or only peaked in the teens, 20s or 30s of the pop charts. There are some others that did go top 10 or No. 1. I still love Lessons In Love by Level 42, a song I liked in the summer of 1987 and still do today. I still like Johnny Hates Jazz's wonderful Shattered Dreams. Duran Duran's Notorious and The Power Station's Some Like it Hot add some funk to this album. But one '80s song on here was one I got to hear for the very first time--The Plimsouls' A Million Miles Away from 1983. It sounds quite good and original for them. The ones by Rick Springfield, Glass Tiger, Asia and others are still superb on here. One rare surprise is the kicking opener of Simple Minds' Don't You Forget About Me and its extended version of 6:32. They extended some sections of the intros, bridges and other parts to the original song to make it longer. This album smartly acknowledges some of the most underrated songs and hits of the '80s and does it well for 77 minutes!

Only In The Movie...NOW on CD!.......2005-02-08

What was once only available on a 12" vinyl single and the "actual" soundstrip...not soundtrack...of the film, "The Breakfast Club", "Pure 80's Hits" now boasts the FULL version of Simple Minds, "Don't You Forget About Me"! Yes indeed...after all these years! To the "average" household listener of 80's music, he or she may not even tell the slightest bit of difference...and not even care...but to true collectors of that decade's gems, this CD has that "hard-to-find" full-length version of that Simple Minds signature song. Listen! The first 15 seconds is VASTLY different than the cut-up version that gets played on all those homogenized-sounding, 80's flash-back radio programs...not to mention, the "extra" verse in the middle of the song, with a complete set of alternate lyrics! So for this...and this reason only...I give the CD FIVE big stars!

Customer Reviews:

Great musical snapshots from the early 1980s.......2007-07-30

I listened to completely different kinds of music at the time, so I didn't have many memories attached to these songs. The musical quality of the songs is actually suprisingly good, and the mastering has been done well. This is a nice review of hits of the early 1980s. Ten songs per CD isn't much, so there could have been more songs from each year.

U have to own one if you were a teenager in 1984.......2001-12-10

This was during Xmas 1984. One lovely girl from Texas brought to Poland (this is where I live) the 10 cassetes pack with "The Best of Billboard - 1984". I still hear this music. Now I can buy a piece of it.

To anyone who was ...teen in 1984: you have to own this one. Don't tell me there is no music you remember from these years. It must be one at least. Remember the first girlfriend. The first kiss maybe? Yes! That's it!.

I want my MTV!.......2000-06-17

This set takes me back to the early days of MTV. Pac-Man fever, Atari and great times in my life. As a child of the 80s it was a special time and special music. This box set helps take you back from time to time!

this is a great collection of the top songs.......1999-09-16

again billboard has done well in putting together a box set of the best songs of this time period. you will appreciate this gathering of the best. every listening minute of this box set is pure elation. not to be passed up.

Great recording!.......2005-10-13

The 1980s were a big segment of rock & roll excitement, and I'm happy to have purchased this particular CD. Every cut is clear and audibly crisp.

One of the few CD's.......2005-10-11

on which you will find Benny Mardones' Into The Night. And the long version of Charlie Dore's Pilot Of The Airwaves. The title says 80's, but the feel of these two songs is definitely late 70's. Rare find!

Leave The Kids At Home Or At Grandma's,,,,,.......2005-09-17

Get your favorite girl in the car(truck for me), put this in the CD player and remember those long forgotten dating days. I just turned 40 and this is the stuff that legendary nights full of mischief and mistakes were made of. MAKE SOME MORE!!!! If your name makes the newspaper,,,you done a good job. I love these old compilations and this one has a definite place in my collection.

lukewarm 80's collection.......2002-05-07

As an avid 80's fan, I thought there was some great stuff on this cd and other stuff that wasn't so great. "Maniac", "The Look of Love", "Cruel Summer" and "Into the Night" are vintage 80's and makes up for the weaker songs such as "Desire" by Andy Gibb which sounds more like 70's disco era music and "Pilot of the Airwaves" which I was not familiar with. This song sounds more like a tune from the country genre. I remember the song by Bruce Willis from the 80's and find this cd unique for including it. I have never seen it on any other compilation. The better songs on this cd however, can be found on other 80's cd compilations that would include other good 80's material that would be more worth the money.

"Some good songs for a great price!".......2000-08-27

It almost is like this is a little soundtrack with a few songs from a few films. It contains two songs from Flashdance, "Maniac" from Michael Sembello and surprisingly, "What A Feeling" from Irene Cara. This is a surprise since this song is rare on 1980's hits collections. Another surprise was Bananarama's "Cruel Summer". This song was missing from "The Karate Kid" soundtrack, the scene where this song was most popular, while the original album it came from is out of print in the U.S., the self- tilted Bananarama. This is a fun song. Also included is "Up Where We Belong" from Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes, the hit from "An Officer and a Gentleman." Also on the album are two other great songs, "Lady In Red" from Chris DeBurgh and "Into the Night" from Benny Mardones. Great songs for a cheap price. Buy it! It's worth it.

Great tunes you'd remember if you where there!.......2007-01-17

Check out the details...if you like the songs, then there you go!

YOU MUST GET.......2007-01-12

This collection is terrific. During the 85-89 era, I was a teenager, and this brings back all the great memories.

Maybe This Will Help?.......2004-08-29

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.

Billboard top hits 1985-1989 box set.......2004-06-19

I was just going to buy this music box set when I suddenly remembered two great songs of 1985, which are: Born in the USA and Careless Whisper. Am I wrong? or weren't they hits? Where are they? I think they could have left out two other songs and included the ones I mentioned, because they were #1 hits. It just got me thinking that this box set is really not so great.

The Rave-Ups.......2007-07-26

I only bought this CD for The Rave-Ups Positively Lost Me. Thank you for including this super rare, out of print song!

Images from Heaven makes this a five star.......2007-06-20

The heart felt songs of the 80's are well captured in the Just Can't Get Enough series, they did a very good job of finding some of the more obscure songs of the 80's but unfortunately they spread them out to force you to buy the set. Yet still as far as the collection is concerned this is one of the best because of Peter Godwin's Images of Heaven. Play the song for yourself and you'll see why.

not bad.......2005-03-06

If you grew up in the Eighties most of these songs will be familiar to you. Some of these are quite good ( Only You, Oblivious, Come Back and Stay ) and hold up nicely after repeated listening. Some do not, unfortunately. And for the record, the version of Our Lips Are Sealed here ( by the Fun Boy Three ) is NOT the original, as stated by the reviewer above. It was recorded after the Go-Gos did it ( although the lead singer of FBT - Terry Hall - co-wrote the song with Jane Weidlin of the Go-Go's). Overall, a fun nostalgia trip.

80's music.......2007-07-16

I grew up in the 70's and 80's. I was nostalgic so I purchased this CD. It's okay.

rare gems.......2007-07-03

This series is incredible! Vol 14 is one of my favorites.

I don't think you'll find Rubber Rodeo's "Anywhere with you" anywhere else - this is an amazing, under-rated song. Two other great rarities are Never Never by the Assembly and Every Word Means No by Let's Active.

Other don't-miss songs are Tenderness, One Night in Bangkok (Chess is touring around in summer 2007 - can you believe it?), Voices Carry, and Can't Get Enough of You Baby.

If you love the 80s & are on a limited budget (I only wish I could have the whole set!), this one and Vol 1 are the ones to get.

Will The Real "One Night In Bangkok "Please Stand Up.......2006-12-23

Finally, one can have the original version of "One Night In Bangkok" on Volume 14 of this series. Murray Head wasn't smart enough to include it on his own greatest hits CD, so it's good that someone got it right. In addition, some other worthy offerings on this CD include "Close (to the edit) by Art Of Noise, Der Komimissar (After The Fire), "Imagination" by Belouis Some, and "Sunglasses At Night" by Corey Heart.

"True Men Don't Kill Coyotes" is an interesting inclusion as we get to hear the Red Hot Chili Peppers in their underground days. This is worth having if you're an 80's fan. Go get yourself a copy.

Exactly what I thought it would be!.......2006-03-20

A great mix of hard to find music.

Old School Skater.......2005-09-20

Damn, I havent even bought this CD but boy, talk about remeniscing, I think I spelled that right, hmm, I remmeber the skate board days, New Wave girlfreind, man.... great CD, there's nothing like 80's New Wave, or just 80's Rock, the music now? Shoot, its all over produced and bland, I 'd rather listen to daeth metal than the music now, well, I actually do.

Every song was a certifiable hit back in the 1980s--the kind that MTV played incessantly (back when MTV actually played videos). Granted, superstars like Madonna, Prince, and Duran Duran are nowhere to be found, but this 15-track line-up of Brits, Yanks, and Aussies is a pretty accurate representation of an era. Twenty years have passed since then and times have changed, but the tunes haven't. Not much, at any rate. The majority of these acoustic interpretations may be slower or quieter than before, but they're hardly radical reinventions. ("No One Is to Blame," "Rebel Yell," and "These Dreams" were all recorded live.) Take Rick Springfield's "Jesse's Girl," for example. It sounds much the same as ever; the original Dr. McDreamy has simply sprinkled a little twang around the edges. The versions that deviate most include Berlin's "Metro," which speeds things up to fine effect, Tommy Tutone's "867-5309/Jenny," which sounds rougher and more rugged than the gold single, and Billy Squier's "Stroke," which makes a surprisingly successful segue from pop-metal to Delta blues. Then there are the voices, most of which (Colin Hay and Tommy Heath aside) sound as youthful as ever. On "Missing You," for instance, John Waite channels his twentysomething self with ease, while on "Our Lips Are Sealed," the Go-Go's Jane Wiedlin sounds downright girlish. Bottom line: If you liked these songs in the first place, you'll like 'em in the second. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Customer Reviews:

Great pickup.......2007-07-08

OK, are we all ignoring the elephant in the room? The acoustic version of Asia's "Heat of the Moment" is easily the best version on the album. At risk of sounding melodramatic, that may be the best remake of a song that I've ever heard. Worth the purchase of the cd, that's without considering the great versions of "Your Love" and "Missin You."

So you miss your M-TV.......2007-03-15

Remember the days when music television actually played videos? Wish it were so again? Well then you're probably in the age group this CD would most appeal to, and it does as a huge hit. I couldn't stop listening to it for hours after I finally got my hot little hands on it. I was singing along on my trip down memory lane. One word: AMAZING.

80s with some emotion!.......2007-01-31

Most of these tunes acquire a nice, attention-getting emotional edge in their acoustic settings. "She Blinded Me With Science" is hilarious no matter what you do to it. Enjoy!

An 'Sripped' Walk Down Memory Lane.......2006-11-02

If you didn't like the eighties music, don't torture yourself. If you did, I believe you will have a enjoyable trip down memory lane. Personally, I have enjoyed many of the 'unplugged' approaches and most of the work on this compilation is at a minimum, not bad. It is choppy and obviously not intended to be released together, but this only makes you tolerate a few questionable songs and then you get to hear some pretty good 'revisions'. I think that Rick Springfield's Jesse's Girl ruins it for you as the first track because he did a great job of changing the song without losing the song. They include Heart and 'These Dreams' which I believe is a off ..The Road Home.. a CD that any Heart fan must have in their collection. Again, if you love eighties music, I think you will want to add this one to the collection.

Acoustic? Hardly.......2006-09-19

"Stripped" is definitely the right word for these tracks. "Acoustic" would be incorrect in some cases, as for Thomas Dolby "acoustic" means using only one synthesizer.
As stated correctly in some reviews, many of these tracks are just live versions using fewer instruments. However, this also means that the songs are missing that heavy, multi-tracked, over-produced sound that defined 80's rock.
The tracks range from horrendous ("The Metro") to awesome ("Your Love"). Be warned - when you "strip" something down to its basics, you can see how beautiful it is, but you'll also see some obvious flaws. Without the benefit of fade-out some tracks have awkward endings ("Heat of the Moment") and others don't seem to work well in this format ("Rebel Yell"). But a great song is still a great song.
If you liked "Down Under" or "Our Lips Are Sealed" before, you'll probably like them again in a rawer form.

Just Can't Get Enough..........2007-02-04

Folks, I only bought this CD for "Send Me An Angel" by Real Life. That's one of my favorite songs from the 80's. The rest of the CD outside of "99 Luft Balloons" by Nena is passable. Five stars for the Group 'Real Life'!! Three stars for the disc overall.

Angel Delivered!.......2006-02-25

I bought this CD because it has the original 1983 version of Real Life's "Send Me An Angel" which I couldn't find anywhere else.

As for the rest of it, this CD is a decent 80's collection. However, I'd suggest starting off any 80's library with the 5 volumes of "Living In Oblivion" and then building up from there.

Worth the money for "Just Got Lucky" and "Emotion".......2003-12-03

Volume 11 of the New Wave Dance Hits series is an excellent collection of great 80's rock mixing some of the biggest new wave hits with other lesser known but still strong tracks. The tracks "99 Luftballons", "True", "Talking In Your Sleep", and "One Thing Leads To Another" were all Top 5 singles in the early 80's. Of these tracks, only "One Thing..." has stood the test of time as it still gets regular airplay on modern rock radio.

As with many of the albums in this series, it's the lesser known tracks that truly stand out. Some of these include the driving "In A Big Country", the moody "Send Me An Angel", the excellent pop of "Black Coffee In Bed", and the hyperactive track "The Fanatic." But the best tracks here, and the reason to pick up this album, are the tracks "Just Got Lucky", quite simply an excellent pop song that should have made JoBoxers huge, and "Emotion", a track by DFX2 which sounds reminiscent of Greg Kihn Band but is more danceable with its killer bass line. Other solid tracks include "Change", "Jukebox (Don't Put Another Dime)", and "Shiny Shiny." The rest of the album is pretty decent too. A great compliation. Highly recommended.

VERY Shiny.......2002-09-23

It automatically gets 5 stars just for including Haysi Fantayzee! It never leaves my carousel, except maybe for a trip on the subway in my discman.

Another Cool Collection from Rhino !.......2001-08-23

Another strong collection in Rhino's New Wave Hits series. Great stuff like Jo Boxers' "Just Got Lucky" and the super cool "Fanactic" by Felony. Add some classic cuts from Squeeze, The Fixx and Big Country and it all adds up to a very worthy collection. Overall, great fun stuff from a time when music was catchy, clever and optimistic. If you grew up in the 80's, chances are you'll dig this CD as well as the others in this great series.

Beautiful Love Songs of the 80s.......2007-01-21

these 80s love songs are worth hearing again and again I strongly Recommend this CD to anyone who loves hearing love songs from the heart

80's power rock at its best........2007-01-19

As a fan of 80's heavy metal,I am familiar with the term,power ballad.This highly melodic,all power ballad light rock format has a great collection of songs.My favorite one on here was"Angel Eyes",but they are all good songs.This album showcases the adult contemporary side of these bands.It even includes the sappy,"Second Chance" from 38 Special.After hearing their more traditional southern based rock songs,you would'nt think they had it in them.Another track that stood out was "When I'm with you".The vocals on that song were great.The very end had some really high notes.Even Boston singers like Brad Delp and Fran Cosmo can't hit notes that high.This is a great album to own if you're a fan of 80's pop/adult contemporary music and particularly one hit wonders.

Excellent.......2006-11-03

Excellent collaboration of the songs I enjoyed through my High School years, and still do today 20+ years later.

80's Greatest Rock HIts, Vol 5: From the Heart = Greatest album ever.......2005-09-02

I was a kid in the 80s with an older sister who was a teenager, so I feel in love with 80s music while tagging along with her. I found this album several years ago and fell in love with it right away. This is by far my favorite CD to listen to. If I don't know what I'm in the mood to listen to, I can ALWAYS put this in and be happy. My favorite song from the 80s is probably Angel Eyes by Jeff Healy Band. I love the way the song sounds, and have always wished to have someone sing something like that to me. But, every song on this album is great. I have never skipped any of the songs on it like I do other albums. Please buy this CD if you love 80s love songs. You will not regret it.

Great CD.......2005-08-10

For anyone who grew up in the 80's, you MUST own this CD. Good times.
