Comment:

It's tough to pin down one defining sound of the '80s — to choose between, say, the skinny-tie synth of Kim Wilde's new wave classic "Kids in America," the playful punk-pop of Bow Wow Wow's "I Want Candy," or even the swoon-bait ache of Air Supply's "All Out of Love." That's why we're going with all of the above, and more — with ten years' worth of [i]'80s Memories[/i], there's no need to choose between the haunting twilight beauty of "Under the Milky Way" by the Church, the furious flashdance fire of "Maniac" by Michael Sembello, or the new-school blue-eyed soul of "Holding Back the Years" by Simply Red.
