Summary: DON'T HATE THE 80'S!!!!
Comment: I bought this CD BoxSet awhile ago at Best Buy as being a number of these are that I had a sneaking suspiscion on what these songs truly sound like. I do,however remember the "Let's Hear It For The Boy" since I have seen "FootLoose" hundreds of times and it's still a favorite in which the song was from. I also remember "Total Eclipse Of The Heart" that indeed is questionary on if it's a love song or a depressing "break-up song?" Ah,and there was my personal
favorite..."Eternal Flame" in which I find to be full of emotion and true love as this is what love songs should truely be like to begin with!! Let's not forget the pop group that was extremely popular with teens
(And myself when I was much younger.)"way back when in the old school" called none other than the
ever-so-famous The New Kids On The Block!! I didn't care for some of the songs on this CD set,unfortunately as that is partially why I give this item a 4 stars.
Not to change the subject on this fabulous item(Okay,I lied.)but I lost 2 of the 3 CD's because I believe they got stolen since my ex-boyfriend used them last...that is,if memory serves me. Oh well,perhaps I might consider buying a whole spanking new copy to
"get even" with him since he'd have 2 used CD's while I'd have all 3 CD's being new!! Ha,ha,ha,he,he,he!! I love it!!! However,all I must say(Yeah right,you're all probably tired of me chit-chatting for quite some time now...)I must make the comment: "NICE PRICE!!!!" I was born in 1981 so I'm somewhat familiar with 80's music. I personally prefer Joan Jett and the Blackhearts in which I found to be a total bummer not to include herself and her band...I MEAN,WHO HASN'T HEARD OF THE SONG CALLED "I LOVE ROCK 'N ROLL?!!" Also,another favorite I like is "Search Is Over" from Survivor since it's the song that played during a Junior High dance that I went to with an ex-boyfriend(He wasn't my "ex" when we were at the dance,though.)as "Search Is Over" was the song playing when I got MY FIRST KISS EVER!!!! Sigh...I guess you can't have 'em all...EVEN ON THE POKE'MON VIDEO GAMES IS IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO "CATCH 'EM ALL!!" GO FIGURE,HUH? GREAT PRODUCT,ANYWAYS. RECOMMENDED FOR THOSE WHOM EITHER GREW UP IN THE 80'S OR ENJOY 80'S MUSIC FOR SHEER ENJOYMENT...BE CAREFUL,80'S MUSIC WERE ALL A COMPLETE "SELL-OUT" BUT AT LEAST IT WASN'T AS "CORNY" AS SOME OF THOSE 70'S AND 80'S CARTOONS THAT KIDS WATCHED WHEN THEY WERE ALL YOUNG,THOUGH. A MUST BUY!!! ^_^

Summary: I love '80s music, but...
Comment: I LOVE '80s music (I grew up in that era), but only about half of the songs on this CD are among my favorites from that era. The other half of the songs, I either tolerated back then or didn't like at all. I've seen better '80s collections. (Also, there should have been more hard rock/heavy metal hits included, as many of those songs were grouped in with the pop hits on many radio stations back then. )

Summary: Non-hits of the 80s
Comment: I recall very few of these hits from the 80s. There may be one or two that I know on each of the three CDs. This is not the fault of the CD publisher--It's MY fault for not reading the song lists more closely before I ignorantly hit the "buy" button. Make sure this CD is going to provide the 1980s sound YOU remember before you buy.

Summary: Like Much Of The 80s, Wretched Excess, But Still Fun
Comment: Most of the tracks on the first disc alone warrant purchasing it at the price offered...however, the second two discs could've been whittled-down to a few tracks that could've replaced some of the softer offerings on Disc One and it would've been one monster CD...still, the wheat can be burned from the chaff on one's mp3/I-Pod, I suppose.
