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.

Guilty pleasure.......2006-09-05

The Billboard series is the ultimate guilty pleasure; the songs are so bad, so cheesy, yet you can't resist 'em. Here we have REO Speedwagon, Starship, John Parr, Ready For The World and Mr. Mister to fill the cheese metre(except John Parr's song is a little less cheesy than the rest), plus some exceptional rock songs from Huey Lewis & The News, Glenn Frey, and Tears For Fears. Also included is a nice diversion, courtesy of Billy Ocean and the ultimate '80s song, "The Miami Vice Theme" by Jan Hammer. Like I said, if you like cheese-filled guilty pleasures, this is for you.

1985 was just about pefrect.......2002-08-10

1985 was one of the best years for music and that's still saying alot, seeing as I like stuff from plenty different eras. The silly, Prince-like "Oh Sheila," is a good one hit wonder. Billy Ocean's shortened R&B pop/rocker "Loverboy" and Mr. Mister's chilled out pop ballad "Broken Wings" are good to have here too.

This collection is great, for one, because it's largely filled with rock songs. Glenn Frey was good in the Eagles as well as solo, but half of his hits weren't on studio albums (like Kenny Loggins), so the rough-edged pop of "The Heat is On" is a huge plus, as is Starship's upbeat, fun rocker "We Built this City". I'll always love it partly because of the DJ's Golden Gate Bridge reference. I lived in Sausalto (just north of San Francisco) when it came out.

REO Speedwagon's light, emotional keyboard drenched power ballad "Can't Fight this Feeling" is another wonderful addition. John Parr's one hit wonder song, the passionate mid tempo rocker "St Elmo's Fire" is another lost hit. No music collection can be complete, though, without Huey Lewis' anthemic arena rock hit "Power Of Love". Besides, this song comes from "Back To The Future", who can forget Marty Mcfly, or that movie at all? The instrumental "Miami Vice" theme is the only one I don't care as much for. I won't complain though, this is a better collection than many.

1985.......2002-07-29

This is a great collection of 1985's hits. My favorite song on this album is the "Miami Vice Theme" because I like how it is just music. Reo Speedwagon's "Can't Fight This Feeling" is great too, "We Built This City" and "Broken Wings" are fantastic. This is the last great installment of the Billboard series. The reason for the late 1980's disappointments is that copyright laws got in the way of putting the big songs on the compilations up until 1995. This is the best of the 1980's billboard collections if you are looking for later 1980's music try the billboard series and Rock On.

Great way to get great songs.......2000-05-02

Getting one of the Billboard's Top Hits albums, or any of the Billboard albums is a great way to get some of the best songs from different artists all on one cd. I only collect some of the Billboard Top Hits of the 80's and I have to say without a doubt, this one is the best. In my opinion, any 80's enthusiasts should enjoy this album because how can you go wrong with an album that has such songs as "St. Elmo's Fire," "The Heat Is On," and even the "Miami Vice Theme"?

Out of the 80's Billboard Top Hits albums, I think the '85 and '83 ones are the best.

Customer Reviews:

This compillation is a mixed bag.......2005-12-25

This 1998 compilation of dance tracks that rocked the charts in 1985 is an odd mix. There is the bumpin track "point of no return", and then there's a horridly cheesy track by Pattie Labelle...sad times...but most of the tracks are bumpin...some are just not great DANCE songs

The series goes out with a bang...and 12" versions!!!.......2005-08-05

Practically all 12" versions, and some of the best dance music to come out of the 80s. Track times are:

1. new attitude (6:12)
2. point of no return (6:07)
3. fresh (the remix!!!) (5:51)
4. 19 (12" version-the album version is actually longer!) (5:15)
5. freeway of love (rock mix-there's a better 12" version than this) (4:53)
6. loveride (6:43)
7. everybody wants to rule the world (5:43)
8. loverboy (8:05)
9. we are young (6:55)
10. turn your back on me (why this ONE short version???) (4:00)

good listening pleasure for the money.......1999-09-20

this cd had a much better selection of songs than most other cd's in this billboard category. still could have have better selection. the type of dance music varied too much. a few songs were of flip-side quality. it was still a good buy.
