1	Hit Me with Your 80's Box! (2002) more music like this by Various Artists Hit Me With Your 80's Box! is a sequel to Hip-O's previous three-disc compilation, I Want My 80's Box!, released six months earlier, and like its predecessor, it contains 42 pop singles chart entries from the 1980s, most of them released between 1981 and 1986, and all of them familiar to anyone who watched MTV in those years. In its first five ... see all copies from $19.97! new only from $31.16!
2	Like, Omigod! The '80s Pop Culture Box (Totally) (2002) more music like this by Various Artists Rock criticism has two schools of thought regarding the '80s. One complains that it was all crass, commercial crap, breathing a sigh of relief that we made it through that dreck (thanks to IRS, SST, jangle pop, college rock, and hardcore punk, of course). The other celebrates the album as "cheesy" fun, full of naïve, silly singles; bad haircuts; ... see all copies from $87.25! new only from $87.25!
3	Billboard Top Hits: 1983 (1983) more music like this by Various Artists This entry into Billboard's continuing series reveals 1983 to be a year of one-hit wonders -- Michael Sembello ("Maniac"), the Greg Kihn Band ("Jeopardy"), Eddy Grant ("Electric Avenue"), and Spandau Ballet ("True") are among the many who failed to recapture their chart success in the years to follow. Among the other selections: Bonnie Tyler's ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $3.88!
4	Billboard Top Hits: 1980-1984 (1980) more music like this by Various Artists Rhino does it again with this five-disc set chronicling the top hits from the first half of the '80s (each disc was originally released separately). And what a strange time it was: while disco gasped for air and new wave was on the rise, the new face of pop made its bloated and steely debut. Hear how veterans like Diana Ross ("Upside Down") and ... see all copies from $30.78! new only from $30.78!
5	Beserkley's Best (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Mainly a revised version of the Chartbusters collection, Beserkley's Best does a good job of summing up the legendary label's high points with tracks from better known acts like Jonathan Richman and Greg Kihn along with the sorely underated Rubinoos, Earthquake, and the Spitballs (the Beserkley "supergroup"). Chris Woodstra, All Music Guide see all copies from $9.78!
6	Then: Totally Oldies '80s, Vol. 5 (2003) more music like this by Various Artists Then: Totally Oldies '80s is an 18-track collection that rounds up some totally '80s songs. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to the track selection; it seems as if the compilers just closed their eyes and picked songs that were hits or close to it at random. A selection process like that is bound to turn up some winners; here listeners have ... see all copies from $11.21! new only from $11.21!
7	Ultimate Hits: Ultimate 80's (2005) more music like this by Various Artists Warner's Ultimate Hits budget-line series looks to the 1980s this time around, including enduring hits like INXS's "New Sensation," Yes' "Owner of a Lonely Heart," and Steve Winwood's "Higher Love" next to almost novelties (Diamond Dave's run at "California Girls") and songs killed by lax licensing ("Whip It"). In between, the Georgia Satellites ... see all copies from $3.25! new only from $3.25!
8	Rock On, 1983: Sweet Dreams (1999) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $20.73!
9	Ultimate 80s [Madacy] (2004) more music like this by Various Artists The songs chosen for inclusion on Madacy's Ultimate 80s span the entire decade. The set -- two discs, 30 songs -- is strictly rock-oriented, encompassing hard rock, new wave, and adult contemporary. It's more focused than the average '80s compilation, but that doesn't necessarily make it exceptional; in fact, it's still pretty interchangeable ... see all copies from $14.88! new only from $14.88!
10	King Biscuit Flower Hour (1996) more music like this by Greg Kihn Greg Kihn's King Biscuit Flower Hour was recorded at the height of his career, when "Jeopardy" was an actual pop hit. Fittingly, the live radio concert encapsulates all of his finest points, particularly his way with a pop hook and his energetic live performances. For fans, it's a great momento.

14 view cover	Anthology: All the Right Reasons (2000) more music like this by Greg Kihn Greg Kihn has never gotten his due with the American public as one of the great power pop songwriters and performers. His catalog runs deep and wide in his choice of covers as well as finely crafted, rocked up, hooky pop songs. This Castle anthology compiles 20 tracks from Kihn's Beserkley label, including his solitary hit single "The Break Up ... see all copies from $20.75! new only from $20.75!
