1980-1982 - Esplendor Geometrico

Advantages: Fantastic collection of songs
Disadvantages: A shame that only 18 could be included

...The 1980's combination of Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart was nothing less than complete genius. The vocal skills of Annie Lennox teamed with the vocal, but maybe more instrumentally talented, Dave Stewart made an inspirational duo that managed to make a large impact on the music of the 1980's, the likes of which we will probably never see again from a union of just 2 people. Released in 1991, Eurythmics Greatest Hits catalogues a success of chart topping singles from 1982-89, the very best from the numerous albums they made. A mix of some quite up beat hits such as 'Sisters Are Doin' It For Themselves' (featuring Aretha Franklin) and 'Thorn In My Side' with the more ballad like 'Miracle Of Love' and 'Angel' makes this a must for the music collection of both Eurythmics fans and anyone with appreciation of great British pop....

Advantages: All the songs
Disadvantages: None

...In May 1982, House Of Fun gave Madness their first number 1 single. This coincided with their achievement of a number 1 album, with the glorious compilation, Complete Madness, described by one national paper as an essential LP for people who wouldn’t normally buy records.” The collection recorded a long stream of hits which the nutty band had achieved in their short three year recording life and as a whole they represented a sublime piece of work. Just listen to these and drool - Embarrassment, Baggy Trousers, It Must Be Love, Night Boat To Cairo, The Return Of The Los Palmas 7, House Of Fun, One Step Beyond and the rest - a truly amazing list of some of the most consistently strong singles of the early 1980’s - Madness in their prime were truly a wonder to behold. If you only ever buy one album GET THIS ONE.... Read review
