NOW That's What I Call THE 80's!
The latest of the NOW CDs has just been released (October 29, 2007) and the best way for you to know if you would like to buy the album is to have a sampler from it.
So on this lens i am featuring all the music videos of the songs on the album. So glance down the list and be amazed at how many of the songs are actually still on YouTube. Of course, it goes without saying that if you like this album you really should purchase it.
In my opinion this is definitely not the definitive eighties collection as quite a few artists are conspicuous by their absence. Artists like Adam & The Ants and Shakin Stevens just to name two are absent from this collection.
Some of the songs that NOW have picked are of course excellent but there are many better that they could have chosen instead. But having said that there are not that many songs that can be featured on a CD set even if that set consists of 10 CDs (which this set does not).

- I just love the Eighties! This is a cool lens, and it has some nice songs I haven't heard of before. I wouldn't have thought to do it. It's too bad some of the videos have been pulled from YouTube. Hate when that happens. Hope you can find replacement links. I still got to enjoy a bunch of the videos though.
Thanks for stopping by my lenses and leaving feedback. You were my first guest! Well, at least the first one I know about who did anything. :)
