"I have been searching forever for a decent cd with the song "Waiting For A Star To Fall" on it and by far this is the BEST. Level 42 is great. The album is nothing but wonderful classics from the 80's."

"This compilation album contains some of the lesser-known, more soft rock type hits of the 1980s. There are still some classic 80s tunes, including "Waiting for a Star to Fall" by Boy Meets Girl (my husband and I are such 80s music fans, we used this as our "first dance" song at our recent wedding!) and "Shattered Dreams" by Johnny Hates Jazz. There's also the wonderful "Wouldn't It Be Good" by Nik Kershaw, a song that was later covered by the Danny Hutton Hitters for the "Pretty in Pink" soundtrack. With the exception of Level 42's "Something Abuot You," you may recognize the remaining artists on the album (Julian Lennon, Elvis Costello, Devo, Boy George), but not necessarily the songs. There are certainly some worthwhile titles on this CD, but if you are looking for a complete collection of classic 80s hits, there are better choices available."
