'Walk Like an Egyptian', 'Funkytown', 'Bette Davis Eyes', 'Physical' - a small selection of legendary songs from this titanic collection of American hits from the 80s that are featured in this compilation. Musicians that have had an international and timeless appeal, influencing modern charting acts to this day like Dua Lipa and even influencing manga artists like Jojo's Bizarre Adventure author Hirohiko Araki, who named characters after bands like R.E.M and AC/DC. There's not much that can be said here that the thousands of litres of ink spilt on icons like Aretha Franklin and Tina Turner - every name here has transcended the traditional pop cycle into household names, almost half a century later. This is a must-grab for the 80s collector, the nostalgic and the uninitiated alike. To call these tracks peak artistry is to put it lightly.
