Ahhhhhhhhhh the 80s what a decade, rubik's cube and big hair. You should see half the photo's I have from that era but sadly they are confined to the attic.
This CD is an ideal memory of the 80s and hold songs form lots of my favourite acts such as Wham, Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet and Adam and The Ants (yes Adam and The Ants)

This CD is great value both in money and memories as the 80s was the main decade for me I was 11 at the start of it so just beginning to realise what music really was and yes my first love was Adam Ant (makes me cringe at the thought of it now).
I paid £19.99 from HMV online for this.

The decade for music - some real greats on these CDs. Perhaps a bit more about some of the tracks and artists would add to the review. Disagree with thingywhatsit regarding 80s music as it was so unique and brave... but then music is about individual taste. I wonder how many people will not have many of these tracks though in other albums or compilations..chuckle. Pete
