- Good representation of the best of the 80s
Over all Hip-O records has done an excellent job on their Gold series compilations. Of all the 80s collections out there I think this is the best and it covers all the different styles in the 80s and it is arranged in chronological order which makes it fun tracking the changes over the decade. Almost every style is represented from the soft rock of Christopher Cross, to the R&B of Bobby Brown, to the Brit Pop of Tears for Fears, and the rock of Survivor. There are absolutely no fillers here since this were all chart toppers (though I could have done without "Up Where We Belong").

Some complaints that come up with most all compilations is that it seems like some of the biggest stars are always missing but do to label politics and artists not wanting their music on these compilations you are always going to be missing some major moments of the decade. With that said, for example groups like Journey ... Read More

- 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.

- 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
