Customer Reviews

a good selection of songs
i have a big library of 80's songs and i am always looking out for good 80's collections. And that is what this is, sure there are many classics missings, but at the end of the day it is not possible to fit every classic track or personal preference (Smiths etc..) on a cd. I think the point is to have a good selection that is representative of the 80's that flows well through the track selection. This collection certainly does that and deserves 5 stars. If there are tracks missing (see other reviews) then buy another collection that suits your version of the 80's.
Personally i would not hesitate to recommend you buying this CD, if your are a 80's music fan.

Unfare to call it 80s...
...it should be called 'Now thats what i call 80's Pop', i do enjoy all the songs on this CD, but it is clear that their are still a lot missing, i have never been a fan of the 'NOW' CDs and it is because of their lack of music knowledge in preparing CDs of past decades

The 1980s
Everyone has a different view of what the 80s meant for them. With so many genres of music it is difficult to get a true cross picture of everyone tastes. I am just wondering though how could they forget the Smiths. Not only were they at the fore-front of what is now "Brit Pop" but was the war cry of millions dis-enfranchised individuals across Britain. I know others will have there own opinion of what the 80s meant to them within music terms, what track defined their life, I am just personally disappointed the Smiths were not included on the CD.
