These 14 chart-busting hits cover everything from industry-tailored power-pop (the Knack's "My Sharona") to celebratory anthems from singers with orange hair (Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun"), and will have listeners reaching for their hair gel in no time. The truth is, the 1980s come off looking pretty good--musically speaking--within the bounds of this compilation. Alongside the obligatory feel-good anthems such as Joey Scarbury's "Theme from 'Greatest American Hero' (Believe It or Not)" and Bobby McFerrin's irrepressible "Don't Worry Be Happy," there is a fine sampling of New Wave-influenced sounds. The Vapor's enigmatic "Turning Japanese" still packs a punch, as do "Our House," Madness's kooky masterpiece, and the Waitresses' jerky "Square Pegs." Solid grooves are not overlooked on INXS's "New Sensation" and the B-52's "Love Shack," but the disc's highlights have to be Grandmaster Flash's "The Message" and 'Til Tuesday's truly beautiful "Voices Carry" (superb songs in any decade).   Technical Info Release Date : 06/29/2004 Original Release Date : 2004 Catalog ID : 78972 Label : Rhino Records (USA) Number of Discs : 1 Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00081227897222   Product Image
