This is a great CD of 80s hits, done acoustically, by the original artists. I especially love the version of Billy Squier's 'The Stroke'.

Sounding better than ever

"i love this record. i love the fact that you can hear your favorite songs done in an entirely new light. i've always loved 80's music. and i've always loved acoustic songs. so naturally this was a no brainer for me. certainly it doesn't disappoint. the berlin track is my favorite. up tempo, fast moving, and acoustic! the men at work track is also great. an amazing song performed in an amazing manner. i also like the outfield, heart (whose electric version i never loved that much), tommy tutone is awesome, the motels sound great, and the rick springfield version is awesome.
i highly recommend this cd to any 80's fan.

"How do they take songs that I thought I did not want to hear again and make them new and exciting? Even though I have heard these songs a million times I'm enjoying them all over. I highly recommend this whole CD as a new lease on some great songs. The whole thing is great - every song."
An 'Sripped' Walk Down Memory Lane

"If you didn't like the eighties music, don't torture yourself. If you did, I believe you will have a enjoyable trip down memory lane. Personally, I have enjoyed many of the 'unplugged' approaches and most of the work on this compilation is at a minimum, not bad. It is choppy and obviously not intended to be released together, but this only makes you tolerate a few questionable songs and then you get to hear some pretty good 'revisions'. I think that Rick Springfield's Jesse's Girl ruins it for you as the first track because he did a great job of changing the song without losing the song. They include Heart and 'These Dreams' which I believe is a off ..The Road Home.. a CD that any Heart fan must have in their collection. Again, if you love eighties music, I think you will want to add this one to the collection."
Great pickup

"OK, are we all ignoring the elephant in the room? The acoustic version of Asia's "Heat of the Moment" is easily the best version on the album. At risk of sounding melodramatic, that may be the best remake of a song that I've ever heard. Worth the purchase of the cd, that's without considering the great versions of "Your Love" and "Missin You.""
Takes me back!

"I have really enjoyed this CD, the new versions of old favorites are very enjoyable.. I have shared the sounds with my friends and have rediscovered the enjoyment of singing as loud as we can in the car and rocking and rolling.. Best cuts.. Jessies' Girl, Down Under, The Metro, 876-5309/Jenny, Our lips our sealed and not to forget Billy Squier's rendition of The Stroke! Fabulous!! Hot rock and great guitar work!!"
