Description
Rock Of The 80s Volume 5 is a well-curated CD snapshot of one of pop music’s most eclectic decades, drawing together ten tracks that defined the new wave, synth-pop, and alternative rock sounds of the era. Highlights include Culture Club’s chart-conquering ‘Karma Chameleon’, Ultravox’s atmospheric ‘Dancing With Tears In My Eyes’, and Thomas Dolby’s gloriously quirky ‘She Blinded Me With Science’. The collection also makes room for Blondie’s driving ‘Call Me’, The Divinyls’ edgy ‘Pleasure And Pain’, and Talk Talk’s understated new wave gem of the same name. Spanning British synth-pop, Australian rock, and American new wave, this CD offers genuine stylistic breadth and a strong hit rate…
