99 Red balloons!.......2006-08-23

If you loved 99 Red Ballons but can't find the English language radio version that they played--this album has it. It's not a re-mix this is the original song [not to be confused with the travesty English version off Nena's album of greatest hits titled: Nena]. That is the only reason I bought this 3 pack, for the one song but you know what there are some other gerat things on here as well! And finding a used copy of this makes it a STEAL!

I love the 80s!.......2006-02-27

This cd has a little bit of everything. A must have for a true 80s fan.

Super 80's CD's!!!.......2000-08-12

I have NO idea what the person above was saying. So, to let you know, this is a GREAT 80's set of CD's. For those who love 80's compilations, you must have this one. It has something for everyone, from new-wave, to classic rock to heavy metal of the 80's. Even if you didn't like a type of 80's music this CD is definitly going to bring back memories. It's great music to drink beers and remember times with your friends. A must have for 80's music lovers!!

WHAT WHAT WHAT?.......2000-04-22

HAVE I GONE DELIRIOUS OR IT'S JUST THE LABLE COMPANY? WHATEVA HAPPENED TO HITS LIKE "CARAVAN OF LIFE? WE KNOW THAT IT'S LOVE?... BUT THIS COMPILATION HAS SOME CLASSICS ON THOW. FOR 13.95 I THINK IT'S QUITE WORTH THE DEAL.

Volume 3. Pop/rock, hard rock, and some New Wave........2003-12-24

NOTES: In the early 90's, Priority Records issued several budget priced, short compilations (with only 9 songs apiece) called "80's Greatest Rock Hits."

This particular series mostly featured the rock side of the decade, in a variety of styles and tempos. (There were also separate, similar comilations mainly covering New Wave type songs, and obscure pop hits). This was my favorite of the series, since every edition played like a good mix tape.

THIS REVIEW IS FOR VOLUME 3: ARENA ROCK.

Just as the title says, much of the hits here consist of pop tunes that are on the borderline of pop/rock and hard rock, along with a couple others.

1) "Too Much Time on my Hands," Styx -- The slightly art rock band turns the guitars up for a slightly hard rocking, fun, sythesized version of what some idiots called 'Corporate Rock.'

2) "We Built This City," Starship -- The story of living life and rocking out in San Francisco, as told by the former Jefferson Airplane band. Set to an uptempo, loud pop/rock beat which practically redefines the word 'Catchy.'

3) "Lovin' Every Minute of it," Loverboy -- New Wave tinged poppy hard rocker, which was this great band's biggest chart hit. I'm glad it was picked over "Turn Me Loose" or "Working for the Weekend," also great songs, but their mid '80s material is severely underrated.

4) "Boom Boom, Out Go the Lights," Pat Travers -- The live recording of this lively blues track is nice, but it seems totally out of place here. It's actually a late 70's song, the live recording of which came out in 1980. Whoever compiled this must've loved that song, 'cause they really stretched it here.

5) "Amanda," Boston -- Yet another underrated power ballad from this 70's rock band. A sweeping and slightly rocking love song.

6) "Freeze Frame," J. Geils Band -- If 80's pop, New Wave, hard rock, and pub rock ever met at an intersection and had a pileup, this is exactly what it would sound like. Not quite as good as "Centerfold," but pretty close.

7) "Election Day," Arcadia -- A darker New Wave number, done by a side project of Duran Duran. A fine tune, but seems out of place in a rock collection. If a Duran offshoot band was to be included, it should've been the more rocking Power Station's "Some Like it Hot."

8) "Tom Sawyer," Rush -- Yet another curveball, but a good one. An epic, heavy art rocker that bridges 70's and 80's rock styles. I might've picked "Distant Early Warning" instead, but I'm not complaining. Since I'm not much of a Rush fan, this is a great, easy way to have that song.

9) "High On You," Survivor -- One of the best songs of this style, more in the vein of the title. A poppish, keyboard laden rocker with a happy story of meeting a girl and being 'High' on them, so-to-speak.

As great as this collection is, I have to take a star off. Mainly it's for the lack of straight rock based tunes toward the end, with the exception of Survivor. I also would've preferred a couple more obscure tunes in the arena rock style, such as The Tubes "Talk To Ya Later," or the criminally overlooked "Don't Let Him Know" by Prism. Even something from a common band, like Genesis or Night Ranger.

All complaints aside, still a great, budget priced collection.

This album is PERFECT (if your goal is to punish someone).......1999-04-24

Pop Kulcher Review: I get nightmares just thinking about the sort of person who would actually seek out this album. While any album containing "We Built This City" is obviously a disturbing thing to behold, the bombastic-classic-rock-monstrosity ratio on this album is frightfully high.

Wrong Title.......1998-07-02

Not a bad collection of original hits, but putting Boston next to Loverboy is a bit too much. The non "one-hit wonders" have collections that are superior to this, but on the other hand, most music lovers would probably prefer to buy this CD instead of shelling out lots of money for an Arcadia or Starship compilation. Complete and original versions.

pathetic.......1998-06-17

pathetic--why tarnish Rush's good name by sticking it in front of et.al. for this stinker of a record
