As a budget-priced collection goes, EMI-Capitol Special Markets' Big Hits of the '80s is quite nice. Many budget-line collections stop at ten or 12 tracks, and occasionally contain remakes. Big Hits of the '80s doesn't skimp -- it has 20 tracks, all in their original hit versions. There might not be many surprises among those 20, but since it contains hits like "Mickey," "Centerfold, " "C'est La Vie, " "Abracadabra, " "Promises, Promises, " "Don't Dream It's Over, " "Only the Lonely, " "Never Surrender, " "Mary's Prayer, " "Don't Forget Me (When I'm Gone), " "Walking on Sunshine, " "Miss Me Blind, " "Morning Train (Nine to Five)" and "Don't Shed a Tear, " it's certainly an entertaining listen that's well worth its budget price. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

With the introduction of the Compact Disc in the 80s, pop music exploded like never before as collectors expanded their selections with their favorite recordings and new artists brought about a fresh sound like never before. Female artists finally got the recognition they were due as acts like Debbie Gibson, Tiffany, Taylor Dayne and Juice Newton landed hit after hit on the top of the charts. Classic 60s and 70s bands like Starship proved they could compete with the modern sounds of the 80s acts with hits like "Sara" and Ambrosia topped the charts with "Biggest Part of Me" . Hard Rock / Heavy Metal exploded onto the music scene and bands like Night Ranger found success with hits like "Sentimental Street "while new comers from the land down under "The Little River Band" started to capture...

Every song was a certifiable hit back in the 1980s--the kind that MTV played incessantly (back when MTV actually played videos). Granted, superstars like Madonna, Prince, and Duran Duran are nowhere to be found, but this 15-track line-up of Brits, Yanks, and Aussies is a pretty accurate representation of an era. Twenty years have passed since then and times have changed, but the tunes haven't. Not much, at any rate. The majority of these acoustic interpretations may be slower or quieter than before, but they're hardly radical reinventions. ("No One Is to Blame," "Rebel Yell," and "These Dreams" were all recorded live.) Take Rick Springfield's "Jesse's Girl," for example. It sounds much the same as ever; the original Dr. McDreamy has simply sprinkled a little twang around the edges. The... Less

Liner Note Authors: Casey Kasem; Merrill Shindler.The 1980s edition of Casey Kasem's America's Top 10 series offers a nice cross-section of the decade's biggest radio hits. There's adult contemporary (Air Supply's "All Out of Love"; the cloying Mechanics hit "Living Years"), synth pop from Thompson Twins and Eurythmics ("Hold Me Now" and "Sweet Dreams [Are Made of This]," respectively), straightforward pop/rock from the Pretenders, and that paragon of '80s radio, Bryan Adams, plus a few notable novelties in the form of Eddy Grant ("We gonna rock down to..." ("Electric Avenue")) and the B-52's ("Tiiiiin roof...rusted!" ("Love Shack")). The collection doesn't dig very deep, but it will give the casual fan a great overview of the decade, without the filler of most retrospectives. ~ Johnny... Less

A mishmash of hits and rarities of mid-'60s San Franciscan rock, recorded for the Autumn label. The Beau Brummels are heavily represented (including their hit "Laugh Laugh"); there are both sides of the single by Grace Slick's first band, the Great Society, including the first version of "Somebody to Love"; there's dance-soul by Bobby Freeman; and there are marginal garage pop tunes by the Tikis, Knight Riders, and Mojo Men. Some of this is good, even great music, but all of it's available on numerous better compilations of the '80s and '90s (the best of which is Rhino's Nuggets Vol. 7: Early San Francisco). San Francisco Roots was also issued in the '70s on the JAS label.

With few exceptions, these are tough times for artists who perform American roots music. It was much the same in the early '80s, when the feisty, Oakland-based Hightone Records coalesced around pals Bruce Bromberg and Larry Sloven. Under their stewardship, Hightone championed blues, country, and folk musicians and singer- songwriters and aided in the birth of the Americana movement--which in turn yielded a radio format and magazines like No Depression. These 79 songs on four CDs and a DVD of music videos are a compendium of Hightone's accomplishments and, in many cases, the footprints of creative giants within those genres. Each disc is defined by style. The blues roster includes Robert Cray's breakthrough hit "Smokin' Gun," which helped launch the genre's '80s revival, as well as... Less

This classic tale of teen rebellion features a delightful combination of dance choreography and realistic touching performances. When teenager Ren Kevin Bacon and his family move from big-city Chicago to a small midwestern town he's in for a real case of culture shock. Though he tries hard to fit in the streetwise Ren can't quite believe he's living in a place where rock music and dancing are illegal. There is one small pleasure however: Ariel Lori Singer a troubled but lovely blonde--who also has a jealous boyfriend. In fact it is Ariel's dad John Lithgow a Bible-thumping minister who is responsible for keeping the town dance-free. Ren and his classmates want to do away with this ordinance-- especially since the senior prom is around the corner--but only Ren has the courage to initiate a... Less

Some of the biggest hits in the history of Pop music were recorded in the 1980s and live on today in fabulous compilations like this one. Kim Carnes spent nine weeks at the #1 position with her 1981 multi-platinum hit "Bette Davis Eyes" and Bret Michaels of Poison crooned "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" in 1988 to spend three weeks at the top of the charts. Night Ranger had hit after hit like "Sister Christian" while Taylor Dayne became one of the leading ladies on the Billboard with hits like "Ill Always Love You". Former Runaway's guitarist Lita Ford brought us "Close My Eyes Forever" while Debbie Gibson thought about "Only In My Dreams' for million selling singles.

Digitally remastered and expanded edition of this sole album from the sadly overlooked '80s band. H2O scored a big hit in 1982 with 'Dream To Sleep' appearing several times on Top of The Pops, filling dance floors across the land and enjoying lot's of radio play. They released several more successful singles and in 1983 released a vastly underrated Faith, an album of sophisticated and well written Pop songs all lead by singer Ian Donaldson's deep rich baritone. In the end they did not follow up the early success of the singles, but make no mistake they made a brilliant album that will appeal to fans of the White Soul sound of the early 80's as well as general 80's pop enthusiasts. 16 tracks. Cherry Pop. 2009.

Dutch 'best of' for pop/adult contemporary trio that scoreda huge hit in 1988 with the bouny, tuneful 'Shattered Dreams' off their 1987 debut 'Turn Back the Clock'. 16 tracks in all including the 'Turn Back the Clock' album in it's entirety. 2000 release. Standard jewel case.

Digitally remastered two fer containing a pair of albums from the Country singer/songwriter : '80s Ladies (1987) and This Woman (1988). Chart success came late to K T Oslin, who was almost 46 years old when her first RCA single 'Wall Of Tears' cracked the Top 40 in the opening weeks of 1988. 80s Ladies' title track hung around the charts for the whole of the summer of '87, peaking at #7, giving Oslin genuine success at last and boosting the sales of the album - which eventually reached #1 the following February, after RCA had culled two more hits from it. Both 'Do Ya' and 'I'll Always Come Back' reached #1. This Woman spawned five singles, including the title track (a #5 hit), the charming 'Hey Bobby' (#2) and a smaller hit (peak #73) in 'Didn't Expect It To Go Down This Way". These hits... Less

Featuring eight number ones and 44 Top 40 singles, Now That's What I Call Music! Vol. 73, the series' second hits compilations of 2009, is just as hit-packed as ever. Opening with four of the biggest singles of the year, Lady GaGa's infectious "Poker Face," David Guetta's summer anthem "When Love Takes Over," Calvin Harris' '90s trance-inspired "I'm Not Alone," and Cascada's synth-heavy "Evacuate the Dancefloor," the first disc only confirms how successful the dance-pop genre has recently become. Elsewhere, Chipmunk and Tinchy Stryder represent the emerging British hip-hop scene with their breakthrough hits, the feisty rock-pop of P!nk's "Please Don't Leave Me" is matched by newcomers the Veronicas and Katy Perry, while tracks from Take That and Girls Aloud only highlight why they are...

Jason Kay melds his longtime '70s fixations with '80s style synths on Dynamite, Jamiroquai’s first record since 2001's A Funk Odyssey. It's been a long time since the acid jazz/funk hit "Virtual Insanity" (1996's Traveling Without Moving, to be exact), and even though the band never became the huge hit machine they seemed destined to become, they've continued to put out solid work. Odyssey and 1999's Synkronized showed off Kay's dexterity with this material, mining urban dance grooves from a goldmine of Motown, Stevie Wonder and far-ranging disco and soul. Dynamite keeps going, constructing an exuberant club vibe out of R&B styles, but also borderline electro ("Electric Mistress"), jumpy Squeeze-style pop ("Black Devil Car") and soulful, smooth nostalgia ("Seven Days In Sunny June").

Who said 80s pop music never parted the Iron Curtain? T.A.T.U., the photogenic duo of Russian divas previously best known in the west for their supposed lesbianism and a risqué video for their hit "All The Things She Said," prove that the lessons of early-80s MTV weren't lost on the children of the former Soviet empire with "Dangerous and Moving." A comeback album of sorts in which the duo--Lena Katrina and Julia Volkova--has dropped the lesbian pretense (though not the coyly ambiguous lyrics), "Dangerous and Moving" is choc full of keyboard hooks that Flock of Seagulls would have been proud to claim, albeit with updated production values that place them closer to Avril Lavigne than to Tiffany. Grabbing some crunchy guitar riffs from Nirvana ("Loves Me Not"), some trippy flourishes a la... Less

Unbeknownst to the public, Freddie Mercury had been diagnosed with the AIDS virus in the late '80s. Although his health weakened by the '90s, Mercury insisted that the band work on music until the very end; their final album turned out to be 1991's Innuendo. Although it didn't receive the same critical praise as its predecessor, 1989's The Miracle, it was another strong album and global hit (again going gold in the U.S.). With hindsight, the song's lyrics are blatantly autobiographical from Mercury's standpoint, such as the reflective "These Are the Days of Our Lives" and the bold "The Show Must Go On." Also included are a pair of tracks that deal with mankind's inability to live harmoniously (the superb epic title track and "All God's People") and a humorous tribute to Mercury's beloved... Less
