I used to fall asleep to this album throughout my middle-school years of heartache and pop-worship. This is my favorite compilation CD. It has the 4 songs that, to me, sport a tattoo of the 80s on their foreheads: "Video Killed the Radio Star", "Everybody (Wang Chung) Tonight", "Centerfold" and the epic "Jessie's Girl".
Out of the 7 Pure '80s CD's: Pure '80s #1, Pure '80s Hits, Pure '80s, More Pure '80s, Pure '80s Love, Pure '80s Rock, Pure '80s Dance, the original has the best hits of the '80s on it. The DVD series of Pure '80s is based on this 1980's music series. This is preformed by the original singers and it doesn't seem to have gay music on it. My top songs are Sweet Dreams Are Made Of This ( Eurythmics ), One Thing Leads To Another ( Fixx ), Obsession ( Animation ), Tempted ( Squeeze ). Pure '80s is a popular CD series and they have better than the others. '80s CDs that are by the countdown or starlite singers aren't the original and way worse. There are 20 songs on this and the number of songs decrease as it goes into the series. This is the first Pure '80s CD.
Grade: A++++
