 | The Best of Aztec Camera by Aztec Camera
Buy new: £9.98 / Used from: £4.50 Roddy Frame's music isn't for everyone since he's a very sophisticated songwriter. I'm not his fan, but I do love songs like "Oblivious", "All I Need Is Everything" and "Somewhere In My Heart".

![Nude on the Moon: the B-52's Anthology [Us Import]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41X80DW2FGL._SL75_.jpg) | Nude on the Moon: the B-52's Anthology [Us Import] by The B-52's
Buy new: £22.99 / Used from: £12.49 Oh, it's pretty hard to choose adjectives for defining this new compilation from B-52's, but I think S-T-U-N-N-I-N-G is very appropriate for this case.

 | Bangles : Greatest Hits by Bangles
Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £0.48 These 4 girls are often forgotten when you talk about the 80's, nevertheless I consider them as one of the best girls band that ever existed!
|
 | Greatest Hits by Billy Idol
Buy new: £10.98 / Used from: £4.15 I'm far from being his fan, but I must admit I love many songs present in this one, just like "Rebel Yell", "Eyes Without A Face" (obvious choice) and my fave one "White Wedding".
|
![Under the Milky Way: Best of [Us Import]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/21Z2V39QKRL._SL75_.jpg) | Under the Milky Way: Best of [Us Import] by The Church
Buy new: £10.98 / Used from: £7.63 Another band who almost nobody remembers, specially because they just owned one big international hit, "Under The Milk-Way", so it's time to discover the charts have been very unfair with them...
|
 | Staring at the Sea - The Singles by The Cure
Buy used from: £4.79 Hmmm... I think it's totally unnecessary to praise such a beloved singles collection, right?! "Boys Don't Cry", "A Forest", "Caterpillar" and "Close To Me" are my fave classics here.
|
 | Sultans of Swing: The Very Best of Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Buy used from: £4.48 Ok, they appeared in the end of the 70's, however their most well-succeeded works were released in the 80's, including their 2 best singles at my opinion: "Romeo And Juliet" and "Tunnel Of Love".
|
 | The Singles 1981-1985: Singles Set by Duran Duran
Buy new: £24.98 / Used from: £19.23 This box set is absolutely gorgeous, since you can find here all the first and still the best singles from DD's career! "Hungry Like The Wolf", "Rio" and "Save A Prayer" sound terrific until today.
|
 | Ballyhoo: The Best of Echo & The Bunnymen by Echo & The Bunnymen
Buy new: £9.98 / Used from: £2.55 If U know this band, U probably know how precious this "best of" is. But if U never heard of them, U have lost some of the best songs created by 80's rock, despite Ian's indecipherable lyrics...
|
 | Shine Like It Does: The Anthology (1979-1997) by INXS
Buy new: £25.98 / Used from: £15.84 This box set proved how good INXS were. I still love songs like "Original Sin", "Need You Tonight", "Bitter Tears" and "This Time" as much as I heard them at the 1st time.
|
 | Lloyd Cole & the Commotions 1984-1989 by Lloyd Cole
Buy new: £14.49 / Used from: £1.55 Another band from the 80's who is hardly remembered for who lived on that age. Anyhow I still feel moved when I hear "Brand New Friend" and other superb classics produced by them.
|
 | 20000 Watts Rsl by Midnight Oil
Buy new: £5.97 / Used from: £1.94 I confess I just knew 4 of their songs when I bought this one (Blue Sky Mine, Beds Are Burning, The Dead Heart and King Of The Mountain), but I discovered here they own another great pamphletary ones!
|
 | Sum And Substance by The Mission UK
Buy new: £7.98 / Used from: £0.89 I love "Tower Of Strenght" more than I can describe here! For me it's one of the best gothic moments from rock. But I can mention another brilliant ones like the divine ballad "Butterfly On A Wheel".
|
 | Singles by New Order
Buy new: £9.98 / Used from: £3.76 This double-disc one is the best singles collection dedicated to New Order just because it includes also all the singles released post-Substance 1987.
|
 | Anthology by Oingo Boingo
Buy used from: £22.40 I think it's sad Danny Elfman will never be recording with Oingo Boingo again, since they were one of the most festive bands who I ever knew. My heart makes a strong boom-boom when I hear "Stay"!

![The Police - Every Breath You Take [DTS 5.1 CD]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51ZLv2WbgyL._SL75_.jpg) | The Police - Every Breath You Take [DTS 5.1 CD] by The Police
Buy new: £9.98 / Used from: £9.72 Another band from the end of the 70's who just reached a big success in the 80's, when they made their most popular works, mainly Synchronicity, which is also their most despised one by the critics.
|
 | Greatest Hits by Pretenders
Buy new: £5.98 / Used from: £2.49 Chrissie Hynde is a wonderful survivor on pop-rock, since 2 members from her band died in the beginning of their career, but she continued to create good pop-rock songs even after these tragic events.
|
 | The Best of R.E.M. by REM
Despite I hardly understand what Mr. Stipe is talking about on his lyrics, I love the music produced by him and his perfect band, specially "Fall On Me", "So. Central Rain" & "The One I Love"!
|
 | Glittering Prize 1981-1992 by Simple Minds
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £1.20 I consider "Alive & Kicking" and the cover to "Don't You Forget About Me" as two of the most thrilling moments from the 80's! But I love equally "Promised You A Miracle" and "Love Song".
|
 | Twice Upon a Time by Siouxsie & The Banshees
Buy new: £8.98 / Used from: £3.38 Siouxsie Sioux is simply the female face from gothic rock and, despite I'm not a gothic person, I adore her as much as I do Debbie Harry! A beautiful voice, a great exotic look & many great songs!
|
 | Singles by The Smiths
Buy new: £11.48 / Used from: £2.34 This is a "must have" for everyone who loves good music on Earth. It doesn't matter if you dislike rock'n'roll, 'cos Smiths are for every tastes, since their music is very melodious and moving!
|
 | Campfire Songs: the Popular, Obscure & Unknown Recordings by 10,000 Maniacs
Buy new: £10.98 / Used from: £4.95 I'm not his big fan, but I love so much songs like "Don't Talk", "Like The Weather", "What's The Matter Here" and "Candy Everybody Wants" that I bought this compilation, which is pretty good!

|
 | The Best Of: 1980-1990 by U2
Buy new: £9.98 / Used from: £0.99 It's another compilation that wouldn't need many words to convince someone for buying it, since it's U2 on the most relevant and brilliant phase of their career, despite I love Achtung Baby a lot.
|
 | The Best of the Waterboys 1981-1990 by Waterboys
Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £0.96 Many people know "The Whole Of The Moon", which is a fantastic song with one of my fave chorus ever created, but you'll find another songs almost so great as this one on hearing this album.
