Rating: - OK but not complete
This is a list of 80's Gold and it doesn't have Michael Jackson, Joan Jett, Chicago, or Madonna? Some good material on the disks but far from a complete set.
Rating: - Well worth the money
Although it does have some songs that I think were not that great, and there are probably some others that should have gone on here, for the price and the great songs that it does have, I would consider it a great purchase for anyone who loved the '80s.
Rating: - An awesome starter kit for '80s Gold!
This two CD set showcases 33 number one hits during the 1980s. As a set of #1 Billboard Hot 100 Chart topping hits, this is a wonderful two CD set. On the other hand, however, there is the total absence of music by such performers as Michael Jackson and Madonna. The sound quality is great and the value is good, but it isn't complete without still more other artists.
But don't give up on this one! There are several really good things I can say about this set. The collection boasts catchy tunes such as "Addicted To Love" by Robert Palmer and "My Prerogative" by Bobby Brown. The scope of the music is pretty wide: you get aggressive tunes such as "My Prerogative" right along with ballads like "Up Where We Belong" by Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes. That's impressive.
I give this four stars for its' very good quality. I would have given it five stars were it not for the fact that Jackson, Madonna, ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent collection of best 80s songs
There have been hundreds of 80s compilation albums on the market in the past decade. But this is a mammoth of a collection right here, with 33 No. 1 songs from that decade! I think that because most of these songs are 20 years old or more, this decade is getting more respected because of the Internet, upcoming 20 to 25-year class reunions and other areas. Purists are going to criticize why Michael Jackson and other artists aren't on this collection, but this is very complete. The Gold series that Universal has been doing since 2005 has done a good job compiling these albums. Standouts--hits from Diana Ross, Lionel Richie, Hall and Oates, A-ha, Expose, Bobby Brown, Paula Abdul, Fine Young Cannibals, Belinda Carlisle, the late Robert Palmer and others. Please get this album and respect these songs from a 2006 standpoint. These songs have influenced most of today's music and the numerous rap/R&B and pop/rap collaborations ... Read More
