Comments

This album describes itself as 40 "Eighties synth pop classics". There's some odd choices (Pseudo Echo is represented by "A Beat For You" rather than "Funky Town", which I'm sure is better known. Ditto for Tears for Fears - wouldn't "Shout" have been more well known? I suspect the answer may be simply that those songs are common on compilations of 80s music.) but it has "Tainted Love" which is now part of Doctor Who lore, so as a fanboy I'm compelled to buy it. A great album - I have my 80s music fix for now!
