Comment:

Whether you were there to witness it all, or need a little help collecting the sonic touchstones from a time before your own, our [i]'80s Memories[/i] Essentials gather together the musical milestones of a decade. It's all here, from the early hits of stone superstars (Madonna's "Borderline," U2's "Sunday Bloody Sunday") to the brief flashes of glory from '80s one-hit wonders (Nena's "99 Luftballons," a-ha's "Take on Me"). Fire up "We Are the World" by U.S.A. for Africa and remember a time when the greats gathered together for something bigger than themselves, and when even little guys could score with a sweet pop nugget like Dexy's Midnight Runners' "Come on Eileen." From the soaring chorus of Night Ranger's power ballad "Sister Christian" to the awesomely strange sci-fi strains of "Mr. Roboto" by Styx, we make total recall as simple as a download.
