another deceptive title.......2007-05-07

Hits of the 80's sounds like a lot of videos from the 80's, not true, there are just 6 videos. Reading the description on the item when I bought it that info was kept a secret.

Nice way to start a collection.......2007-03-25

This is not a bad deal for $8, not a whole lot of selections some may feel but Overall a fairly decent deal. Got to get your feet wet eventually and this seems a safe way to go.

What memories!.......2007-01-04

My kids love to see the songs I grew up with. Back when videos ruled!

Great videos at a decent price!.......2006-04-13

Buy a DVD of videos from the 80s? What? Am I nuts? Sure, I taped huge numbers of the videos years ago, but this is DVD, right?

Right.

I'll confess that the main reason I bought this DVD is for a-ha's "Take on Me" video. It won top honors in its year of release as video of the year. Time has been kind to it. The video and the music hold up well.

The B-52's "Love Shack" holds up well too. If you'll look, you'll see a pre-Superstar Ru Paul dancing in the video (Ru and the 52's are from the Atlanta/Athens, GA area).

Devo's "Whip it" is still one of the oddest and guiltiest pleasures to come around.

The Georgia Satellites' "Keep your hands to yourself" is a hillbilly rock song worthy of praise and one I'd forgotten.

"Drive" by the Cars and "New Sensation" are probably the two best produced videos on the DVD. They both show off the groups and are more "classy" than the others.

All in all, I sure yearn for the days when MTV played videos all day and night long and allowed us to enjoy music in a whole new way. I also yearn for videos where the people in them seemed to be having fun....

Worth the 8 bucks it costs!

Essential 80's Rock.......2004-01-16

This is a nice (but small selection) of 80's "Hair Band" videos. The sound and video are good, but not remastered. There are no extra features.

Suicide might be better???.......2005-02-06

With the exception of Dio's "Rainbow In The Dark", this DVD is like the cops usually say when somone's been splattered all over there road "There's nothing here to see . . . move along." If this is someone's concept of "Essential" 80's Hard Rock then they need an enema and fast. WTF? The Bulletboys? R U serious? I think I'd rather chew broken glass than watch a video from Faster Pussycat. Where's Maiden? Where's Judas Priest? Where the f*ck is Ratt at least or Motley Crue or even Motorhead? Can we really say that Bulletboys is the benchmark for 80's Hard Rock? I think not.

Please pan my review!!!!.......2004-04-07

How can 13 of 13 people have found the last review helpful? Most of it was given over to listing the videos on the DVD, but you could have gotten that from the "product description."

The reviewer's sole contribution is the following:

"Too short at 26 minutes" and "Ok this is not a bad music DVD but I wish it were longer."

Are these two reactions really that helpful? Would you have expected anything else after looking at the product description?

I think this guy just had his friends and family come and vote on his review. :) He'll probably have them come back and pillory mine.

Your friend,

Milhouse
