Not exactly all encompassing..........2006-04-27

14 songs have a hard time defining a decade. It's too bad Rhino couldn't have put 20 tracks on these "I Love" discs. This is a decent track selection but why do people insist on calling "My Sharona" a hit from the 80s? I don't know why you would think that the 1980s began in the summer of '79. If you call "My Sharona" an 80s hit, then you may as well call "Love Shack" a 90s hit. And why doesn't Rhino ever license the full length version of "Sharona"?! It contains some of the most ass kicking guitar licks ever waxed on a power pop tune and yet everytime it ends up on one of these hits compilations, it's the single edit with the best part of the song cut out. It's very frustrating.
Of course I realize that if Rhino could have licensed "Beat It", "When Doves Cry", "Like A Virgin" and "Born In The USA", then they would probably be here, but there are still a couple of odd choices on this disc.
I guess a lot of people have some good memories about the show "Square Pegs". I myself am looking forward to a DVD release of this series. But I don't think enough people remember the show or its theme song to warrant its inclusion here. And I also think that "Footloose" would have been a better Kenny Loggins choice. "I'm Alright" isn't much older than "My Sharona" and doesn't scream "80s" nearly as loud as "Footloose".
Also, if there were more songs then you could include "Walk This Way" or "Push It" in addition to "The Message" to represent the decade where rap/hip-hop became the pop music mainstream.

Another great compilation from VH1.......2005-12-22

The 1980's were *not* a good time to grow up in America. The country was in decay from the neglect and recklessness of the Reagan years - there was hardly anything for us middle class kids to do except create trouble (yet corporations and the very rich were getting a free ride ... like they are now).

Quite frankly, the decade stunk. The music was cheesy and the clothes and hairstyles cheesier.

BUT ...

I enjoyed this compliation of 80's tunes only because they brought me back to a more innocent time and I appreciate the range of music VH1 chose to include on this CD (blows Billboard's 80's year-by-year compilations right out of the water and them some).

I'm happy to finally own the Grandmaster Flash ditty "The Message" as well as "Turning Japanese" by The Vapors.

Definitely worth the money (now if VH1 would only do the ultimate nostalgia show - "I Love the 60's...").

80's kick ass.......2004-07-20

I love the 80's. The greatest decade of all. Great Music, Movies, Clothes, and the beging of Videogames. How can you not love the 80's. Although these cd's arent that great they only give you a few of the songs so thats why i would give it about 3.5 stars.

FUN TO HEAR.......2004-07-13

This kind of music is the best. I wish there could be more songs on the cd because the music is so much fun to listen to and if I loved i am sure you will to if you LOVE THE 80's

Customer Reviews:

Anything can happen with the WWF.......2004-10-07

The Wesley Willis Fiasco has a much different sound than Wesley Willis solo recordings. The solo albums have a simple pre-programmed keyboard sound. The Fiasco recordings are done with a full band, so they have a fuller sound. The band plays in a hard rock style. But Wesley still sounds the same, and his songs still have the same structure. This CD features some live performances by the Wesley Willis Fiasco. They sound good, if a bit sloppy at times. One of the amusing things here is listening to the things that Wesley says to the audience between songs. I won't repeat any of his lines, because most of them are rather vulgar. Fans of Wesley should dig this CD. I should also mention that there is an unlisted bonus track here, which is another live version of "The Bar is Closed", recorded live at The Wetlands in New York City. Wesley goes into an extended dialogue after the song.
