robert palmer/addicted to love *1986*: https://www.youtube.c*m/watch?v=vBPmyXyW6yk&list=PLbGuJX1GQkocvNiq8XU_3Ug5sFlverOe1&index=3 this vid was hugely popular on mtv here and would top the hot 100 chart. he did very well here notching a handful of top 10 hits on the billboard hot 100 chart...and sadly he passed away in 2003. Ms. Simon 'Why' indeed? Not over comped, but just a bad song. + just cause my mother played her music relentlessly while I was growing up doesn't mean I like it.

Except 'Now 100 Hits Even More Forgotten 80s'. It has enough of a varied line up to keep me interested more than one play.

Reviews

heart/never *1985*: https://www.youtube.c*m/watch?v=xCEFysCT1a4 this album would go 5x plat. and yield 4 top 10 hits. i was 10 yrs old this year and madonna's like a virgin album & the 'we are the world' single would be so big, so any artist that could compete with them is extraordinary.

For a better snapshot of 80s British hits try the original Now That's What I Call Music series. Each volume is a time capsule of six months or so of British pop music. scandal/the warrior *1984*: https://www.youtube.c*m/watch?v=yMHtDFDJCqY peaking @ #7 over here, i can only recall 1 other hit from them 'goodbye to you'...but when you turned on the radio here in america you would listen to 1 great song after another. nu shooz/i can't wait *1986* : https://www.youtube.c*m/watch?v=KdPfy1Khjpg peaking @ #3 on the hot 100 chart, they're a married couple *still happily married today!* & this song perfectly showcases how eclectic and diverse the 80s music scene really was. not a traditional pop or club song, very unique for the times. About three cds worth of songs here are the usual 'appears on way too many compilations', but not in the configuration presented here. For now I'll pass on the Forgotten 70s, the Forgotten 80s and probably the rest of the Now Forgotten series.I too am guilty of buying many of these very similar 80s cds. They are fun on a long drive or enjoying whilst doing chores when no one else is home. Ok, there are some big international hits here that even your grandmother knows, but not as many as the previous Now Forgotten 80s nightmare. Grandma might be forgetting birthdays, but she'll never forget 'I'll Tumble 4 Ya' which I don't think was a single in England.
