Well you must agree that there are certainly some good ones to remember on here, and a few of my favourites too.
Some of these bands and artists are still going strong today, i mean look at kylie Minogue "Hand on your Heart" was her second number one hit in 1989.
Another are Duran Duran who are one of my favourite groups, still going strong today and are currently working on a new album.

A few of the songs on here are one hit wonders like "Footloose" "I'm a wonderful thing Baby" and "Kiss me". God knows whatever happened to these after the hits were over.
The others on here did have a lot of success in the 80's and then just faded out with time, but did give us good music in that era.

Quite odd though there is one from 1991 Gloria Estefan with 1,2,3. What this is doing on an 80's album I'll never know !!

This double album is well worth the money and a great listen to all of those old favourites.
