Free Music Notes for Like, Omigod! The '80s Pop Culture Box (Totally)
Free Music Review: Pricey, but good selections
Hit: 4 Stars
I loved it. Worth every cent. It's not cheap, and, yes, no Madonna and no Whitney, but this is an extremely thorough selection with a ton of one-hit wonders. For anyone who loves 80's music, this is a great item.Free Music Review: Like, one of the best 80's compilations!
Hit: 4 Stars
This is one of the best 80's compilations I've seen yet!While most try to capture the "top 10" feel of the 80's, this set does a good job of representing a wide variety from top 10 to one-hit wonders.
The only down side, which is not a big deal for me since I don't keep the CD's in their original box, is that the vinyl/rubber "cover" on the box doesn't want to stick very well to the box material so the edges keep curling up.
Overall, I really recommend this set!
Free Music Review: Delicate CD's
Hit: 4 Stars
When it comes to music, one can look at the songs on the CD and decide whether they want to buy it or not based on their own individual tastes. Personally, I love most of the songs in this set and found it to be the best choice for myself.However, one thing I can advise about this particular boxed set is that I had some trouble removing the CD's from their holders. One CD in particular I had to pull pretty hard to remove it the first time, and it broke in half. I didn't pull THAT hard that it should have broke, but it did. First time in my life I had a CD break on me. If you buy this set, be careful removing the CD's from the box!
Free Music Review: Is this enough '80s music for you?
Hit: 4 Stars
My biggest gripe is this: there are seven CDs in this package, and my CD player only holds five CDs! :-(OK, seriously, this is quite a comprehensive collection of 80's music, and just about every genre is represented to some extent. There's Eddie Rabbit, Blondie, New Edition, Dexy's Midnight Runners, Devo, Simple Minds, Duran Duran, just to name a few. Of course, though, it is heavy on the pop numbers, and it certainly brings back memories of high school for me, particularly since the collection seems to lean heavily toward early to mid '80s music. There's not much on it after 1987, which doesn't bother me personally, but I would have liked, for example, "We Didn't Start the Fire," by Billy Joel.
Indeed, that is the one problem with this collection, but that can be said for any collection. For all the wonderful songs on there, so many more were left off. There's nothing by A Flock of Seagulls, Journey, Michael Jackson, Madonna, and each artist that is there is represented only once. Why was The Thompson Twins represented with "Lies" and not "Hold Me Now" or "Doctor Doctor"? Where was Howard Jones? Still, it was well worth the money.
Now, I just need a CD player with more spaces . . .
Free Music Review: Everything 80's that you could possible want!
Hit: 5 Stars
What more can I say? As an 80's fanatic, I think this is the definitive collection. It covers all the musical moods and has a couple of very hard to find songs on it. If you love the 80's, this is the item for you.
