The 20-track collection ranges from fluffy pop (Wham!'s "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go") to innovative hip-hop-informed techno-jazz (Herbie Hancock's "Rockit") to wistful hard rock (Whitesnake's "Here I Go Again"), also making room for a few majestic synth-pop anthems (Simple Minds' "Don't You Forget About Me" and Tears for Fears' "Everybody Wants to Rule the World"). The Now That's What I Call Music! series turns its attention to pop music of the past with this compilation of '80s hits. Now That's What I Call the 80s plays just like you'd expect a Now collection of '80s songs to, serving up the decade's biggest, most obvious hits from its definitive stars and styles. That's far from a bad thing, though -- aside from Prince's glaring omission, the album packs in a lot of favorite '80s songs, including Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean," Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun," and Tears for Fears' "Everybody Wants to Rule the World." Obviously, it's not an in-depth compilation, but Now That's What I Call the 80s is fine for anyone who just wants a sampling of the decade's quintessential tracks. ~ Heather Phares   Technical Info Release Date : 03/11/2008 Original Release Date : 2008 Catalog ID : 88697 22784 Label : Zomba (USA) Number of Discs : 1 Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00886972278421    Product Image
