Steppin' Out/Very Best of Joe Jackson

CD-Charts > Music > New Wave
by: Joe Jackson

Release Date May 22, 2001
Back in the 80's, I was a casual Joe Jackson listener but not a dedicated fan. Several months ago, on a whim, I decided to see Joe Jackson live and was blown away by his performance. I immediately purchased the best of album and am both pleased and ashamed. Pleased because of all the great songs on the album and ashamed because I forgot all of the great music Joe Jackson performed over the years. I am now a dedicated Joe Jackson fan. Thanks Amazon for having such a wonderful selection and zippy service an delivery.

Pure 80's Dance

CD-Charts > Music > New Wave
by: Various Artists

Release Date April 06, 2004
Okay so um... I collect 80s music. I live 80s music. I have rare club gems and radio hits that haven't been heard since there debut. And these songs are solid gold worthy of American Bandstand for sure. The problem with collections though is they always lack something and for a dance CD not to have Madonna or Prince is a big huh? Not mention the rulers of the 80s club scene Erasure, ABC, or The Pet Shop Boys. However, it has some hard to find gems for the 80s geek who wants to deeper into the 80s scene as opposed to just playing Rock It, Like A Virgin, and Billy Jean all the time. So for the novice 80s nerd this is a good start but I urge you to go much much deeper.

Franz Ferdinand

Release Date April 20, 2004
2 1/2

These boys managed to do the whole indie retro thing without much humiliation, but only but only a few years later, the Euro-snootiness masquerading as witty band interplay which embedded this debut with heavy buzz has seemed to wear thin, making the band's limitations seem even more apparent.

Grosse Pointe Blank: Music From The Film

CD-Charts > Music > New Wave
by: Various Artists

Release Date March 18, 1997
Too often the cool 80's music such as the Specials, Clash and English Beat are forgotten and the crass 80's crap is what's represented in any 80's themed movie/cd compilation. Not so Grosse Pointe Blank. All the great music is here. Make sure you get vol 1 and 2.

Pure '80s: #1s

CD-Charts > Music > New Wave
by: Various Artists

Release Date May 09, 2006
I reviewed most of the 80's cd's available on Amazon and I believe this cd - plus all the ones from the same series - are the best. The selection of songs is pretty good. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because there is about 3 to 4 songs that are not really what I would consider "hits" (but this is true of any 80's music CDs).

Outlandos D'Amour [Digipak]

CD-Charts > Music > New Wave
by: The Police

Release Date March 04, 2003
This is what The Police would sound like if you got them to play in your garage. Outlandos D'Amour is like taking a snowshoe upside the head, while Copeland, Summers, the other guy laugh at you. A hoot dang.

Of course the music is great. The CD itself was in great shape as was the packaging. I would order from this supplier again.

20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Donnie Iris

CD-Charts > Music > New Wave
by: Donnie Iris

Release Date September 18, 2001
I always loved Donnie's sound and many of his songs. A couple I had forgotten were his. I love that he stayed true to his style and made it work. Proof that the roots of rock-n-roll are still the best part of it. The hook of Love Is Like A Rock, the story of Agnes, the smooth harmony of Ah! Leah and the throw back to The Rapper are awesome. Love Donnie and his sound. Fun CD to own.
