This is one of those CDs that I break out when I get together with my friends and we feel like dancing and reminiscing. Not all of the songs bring back memories or are that memorable themselves, so we just skip to our favorites like Sweet Dreams, Our House, and Keep on Loving You, to name a few. It's worth having in your collection if you like 80's rock.

Awesome Value! 15 songs, no fillers!

"15 awesome songs at less than $1 a song, and no fillers (maybe except Sowing the Seeds of Love, I don't remember it topping any charts). Possibly the best one-disc 80's compilations available!"

A pretty average collection of 80s 'safe' hard-pop/soft rock

"For the record, I didn't enjoy this CD much. All the songs featured are genuine hits, but notwithstanding their chart success, this is a pretty average collection of 80s 'safe' hard-pop/soft rock. Only a few of the tracks grabbed my attention: "Rock This Town" by the Stray Cats (the first 45rpm I ever bought!), "Keep On Lovin' You" (REO Speedwagon) and Crowded House's, "Don't Dream It's Over" (which was a bigger hit when re-released in the 90s). The rest, unfortunately, are quite forgettable. This album is reasonably priced, and worth getting if you want to discover the 80s. But Amazon *does* sell better compilations than this.....Jon."
