Good stuff.......2005-05-15

I never cared for "Now That's What I Call Music"... In fact, I hate most of them. But that's because they usually put on songs that are popular at the time they were made, but this one is a flashback on the '80's. I don't own this album, but I know most of the songs, and they are really good songs, much better than Jojo and Ciara and whatnot. If you want to buy a "Now" album, buy one of these... Or the UK imports to show off to your friends. (Americans still think it goes up to 18.)

FLAVOR OF THE EARLY 1980s.......2003-09-05

This excellent UK compilation from 1983 gives the listener a fine perspective of the music of the times. It includes a colorful spectrum of styles, from synthpop (Human League, Yazoo, Kajagoogoo, Heaven 17) to pop reggae (UB40, Culture Club), to alternative (Siouxsie, The Cure, Public Image Limited) and more. Some of my favorite songs and those that have proved to have timeless appeal, include Billy Joel's Uptown Girl, Frankie Goes To Hollywood's massive hit Relax, New Order's equally huge hit Blue Monday, Eddy Grant's brilliant reggae number Electric Avenue, The Banshees' cover of Dear Prudence and Fun Boy Three's charming Our Lips Are Sealed. Great rock numbers include U2's New Year's Day and Tina Turner's Let's Stay Together, whilst singer-songwriters like Joe Jackson (Steppin' Out) and Nik Kershaw (I Won't Let The Sun Go Down On Me) always produced great work. In Nobody's Diary, Yazoo established their unique electronic bluesy sound, whilst KC and the Sunshine Band and David Bowie gave us perennial dancefloor favourites in the form of Give It Up and Let's Dance and Public Image and The Cure pushed the boundaries of experimental rock. 1983 was a great year for music and this album is a treasure trove of some of the era's best songs.

Do you want the best 80s compilations? You've got it!.......1999-12-30

Nothing beats these imported titles for great 80s music! You get a great blend of American and European hits on 2 CD sets. Pick your favorite years and relive the magic of the music!

waste of $.......2005-08-01

I know there are people would love some of the tracks on this set but personally I think, they are lame selections. Just another way of making money on the old stuff... The 2003 version of this series - Decades has way better tracks. Maybe I just like the more exciting and up beat music... I am giving it a 2 stars for the 10% of its decent tracks.
