Advantages: 2 cd set with some great tunes from the 80's
Disadvantages: a few not well know songs on here

...If you remember the 80's and loved the music , then this is defiantley the album for you ... This two disk CD set covers all various artists from 1980-1989 and has a combined forty songs !! not bad eh. There are so many songs and groups on here that a lot of you will remember and it brings back good times for me remembering the school disco's ! My favourites on this album are "hungry like the wolf" that has to be one of mine as a Duran Duran fan, and I have good memories of Billy Ocens "Get outo my dreams, get into my car". Another classic is "Prince Charming" by Adam and the ants. There are a couple of dud songs on here that I did not really enjoy that much, such as "I'm a wonderful thing baby" and "Ride on time" I really hated that song when it came out as it was number one for weeks and weeks and just got on my nerves...

Advantages: Great Tunes
Disadvantages: A Few Weak Tracks

.... 16.Debarge - Rhythm of the Night (1985) 17.Sheena Easton - Modern Girl (1980) 18.New Edition - Candy Girl (1983) Another wedding reception song! 19.Rock Steady Crew - Hey You (The Rock Steady Crew) (1984) Awful! 20.Europe - The Final Countdown (1986) What a song! One of my Dad's favourite songs and I love it as well. Its one of those songs where you just have to get up and dance and sing along loudly too and do the air guitar. Classic. Out of both CDs im likely to be found listening to the first one, but the second CD does have some classic songs on it and I cant wait to get my School Uniform off and go relive my youthful school days intoxicated, under the influence and go crazy.... and if your really lucky I will do a review of my night out, although im not sure I will supply photo's! This CD can be found in various music shops... Read review
