No fluffly late eighties here
The perfect eighties music compilation, if you don't like bands like Poison or other songs like the sort. It has the can't live without song "If You Leave" by OMD. And a nice mix of other earlier 80's songs that you have grown to really like. I picked this one because the other 80's cd's threw in some artists that really didn't blend well on the same disc. Definetely the right choice.

One of the better 80's collections
For the price, this CD is one of the better collections of 80's songs that I have seen. It has some stuff that is on many other collections, but it also has some songs that are harder to find, such as True Faith by New Order, which is one of the great songs of the 80's, and Smalltown Boy, by Bronski Beat. The campy You Spin Me Around (which Adam Sandler did a hilarious version of in the Wedding Singer) is also one of the highlights.

AN 80'S FAN FROM THE GREAT STATE OF MONTANA
The 80's was a transition decade. And the music was very good, and the music was very inviting! If there is anyone that remembers this music such as rock and roll is great! So, if your a real fan, do pick it up!

Great 80's CD.
This CD has many of the hard-to-find-on-one-CD songs from the 80's, like Art Of Noise and True Faith! If you're a true 80's fan AND lived it (I'm 25), then you will know what I'm talking about. This is a solid collection to your 80's collections. Other songs like Bronski Boy and Things Can Only Get Better are also great memories to remember. Get this CD!

seems okay to me
I'm a true "child" of the 80's---I was 5 in '89. However, I do remember some songs from my childhood, and others are currently making comebacks. I'm so psyched that two of my favorite songs, "I Melt With You" (THE BEST!) and "I Want Candy" are on the album. I wish that "99 Red Balloons" by Nena was on the album--then it would be nearly perfect. I haven't heard all of the songs on the album yet, but it seems to be a decent compilation of 80's hits. ...

Okay
This album is not to bad, it just doesn't flow. The music seems disjointed, and it doesn't sound good.

One of the best!
An eighties compilation album with decent music?! Unbelievable! But this one is filled with the hits that don't make it to the thousands of others out there, and that's what sets it apart. '(To Cut a) Long Story Short' by Spandau Ballet is a song that often gets overlooked for their hit 'True', but in this compilation, the former (and in my opinion better) song is included. Also surprising is 'Notorious' from Duran Duran's post-fab five days and excellent 'Letter From America', a long-overlooked track from the Proclaimers. This album is definitely one of the best new wave compilations available! ... Read more

A Great Overview/Intro To Mod Rock
This album was my first introduction to Mod rock that wasn't The Jam, and it really surprised me. Sure, there are some flat out Jam rip offs here, but they pull it off well. The album as a whole is very good. There are as many well established bands here as there are ones who were only around for one novelty single. There's many stand out tracks here including those by Small World, The Purple Hearts, The Name, Amber Squad, The Aces,The Circles, and Squire. A recomedation for anyone wishing to check out the genre.

A Nice Collection of Mod Rock
I spotted this two disc set at a local store and decided to take a chance on it. If you like The Jam, mod rock in general, the early Who or even punk, circa 1977, then this is for you. I found a few new favorites here, like the Amber Squad track. Honestly, there are many strong tracks. Recommended...

Thought I'd add to my review to say that this collection is now available as part of a 3 CD set called "Mod Box". You get these two discs plus one more at a greatly reduced price! (...)

Definitive Mod Collection
This is a suburb collection capturing the Mod craze from 1979 - 1983. Many good groups are on here. For example, Small World has been labeled one of the best Mod groups of the era. This is great for anyone who has had their fill of The Jam. ;-) ... Read more

Big mistake...
Yikes! This looks like a great mix of hits, but what the item description forgets to mention is that all of these songs are covers, by artists that I--for one--have never heard of. Try "Another Brick in the Wall" by Think Joy, "Heart of Glass" by Goldie (???) and "Horse with No Name" by Armenia. I am not kidding. Be warned. ... Read more
