artists, and also had twenty songs on each disk. There were lots of hit tracks on here with most getting into the top ten charts. There are well known Artists on here including ones still going.

is a similar thing when you get a collection of tracks which span a lot of time, such as this compilation, which covers a lot of the best bands and Artists from the 1980s in one album. What struck me about this album was that, although there are some great tracks from some great artists, some of the track choices were confusing. I suppose the idea was to release a compilation that would be different to other compilations from the 1980s, and they have certainly done that with their song selection. The first disc starts off with one of the best bands of the 80s by far - Queen. To be honest, there are a whole host of tracks from them that could make it onto any ...
