You want your %2780s! Fer sure! This is the mother of all tributes to the era of skinny ties, Reaganomics, and Pac-Man! Seven CDs, 142 hit songs, from New Wave to Pop to R&B to Hip-Hop to Novelty, including an incredible 49 #1 tracks! Starring Queen, New Edition, Duran Duran, Richard Marx, Daryl Hall & John Oates, Men At Work, Toto, The Cure, Culture Club, Cyndi Lauper, Bryan Adams, Simple Minds, Bangles, New Kids On the Block...and many more. Plus a 90-page book with hundreds of historical photos, facts, and memories from the decade that wanted it all! Limited edition sculpted rubber cover! Approx. 10 x 8 x 3/4 inches. 2002.
With 142 genre-spanning tracks, Rhino%27s colorfully packaged, seven-disc Like, Omigod! The %2780s Pop Culture Box (Totally) one-ups Hip-O%27s three-disc I Want My 80%27s Box. The ambitious set includes an illustrated break-dance chart and a 90-page booklet with a year-by-year timeline, track-by-track commentary, priceless photos (e.g., Dana Carvey as the Church Lady), and insightful essays paying homage to such pop culture touchstones as Martha Quinn, Live Aid, and the Sony Walkman. Musically, the box offers a little something for every taste. New wave gems such as Bow Wow Wow%27s "I Want Candy" and Haircut 100%27s "Love Plus One" get equal billing with ubiquitous Top 40 hits such as Dolly Parton%27s "9 to 5" and REO Speedwagon%27s "Keep On Loving You." And timeless pop such as Culture Club%27s "Karma Chameleon" and Tears for Fears%27 "Shout" mingle with the R&B funk of Rick James%27s "Superfreak," the heady rock of Twisted Sister%27s "We%27re Not Gonna Take It," and the prescient hip-hop-rock fusion of Run-D.M.C.%27s "Walk This Way." And fittingly, the kitschy collection features its fair share of indispensable one-hit wonders, from the soap opera craze-inspired "General Hospi-Tale" by the Afternoon Delights and the so-bad-it%27s-still-bad "Theme from Greatest American Hero (Believe It or Not)" to real keepers such as Tracey Ullman%27s "They Don%27t Know" and Frank Zappa%27s "Valley Girl," which lends the box its rad title. But whether the selections are grody to the max or totally bitchin%27, they spark memories of a kinder, gentler time when leg warmers and asymmetrical haircuts ruled. For that reason, this compilation is totally awesome. Fer sure.
