Amazon.com The second in the Hip-O imprint's series of '80s box sets, this three-CD compilation collects 42 hits from the decade of decadence. For those who want to shake their booty, they can get their freak on to Rick James, "Jump" for the Pointer Sisters, and do a little "Safety Dance" to Men Without Hats. Love new wave? Indulge in Flock of Seagulls, Duran Duran, Devo, and Adam Ant. And for those who want to rock--although not too hard--there's Billy Idol, the Pretenders, Rick Springfield, and Scandal. Yes, many of these cuts are predictable, but there are some surprise entries, like Rockwell's "Somebody's Watching Me," Greg Kihn's "Jeopardy," Peter Schilling's "Major Tom," and Jan Hammer's "Miami Vice Theme"(!). Given this set's diverse artist roster, it's doubtful that you'll love every song; and, truthfully, the third disc is weaker than the others. But as a throwback for the music-video generation, Hit Me with Your '80s Box! makes a hip retro compilation that may finally get pop-culture snobs to admit that they liked many of these songs a lot more than they were willing to let on back in the day. --Bryan Reesman Similarly Requested CDs

CD Reviews"Memories from your world of the '80s" J. Lovins | Missouri-USA | 02/02/2002 (4 out of 5 stars) "Step up and meet the Second Volume from Universal Music/Hip-O, nicely remastered and loaded with "must-have-music" for your growing '80s collection. Some ground breaking selections are highlighting "HIT ME WITH YOUR 80's BOX!", most of the 46 Tracks playing in my head, bring back so many wonderful and worthwhile memories.Even though there are many missing, this collection hits some of the high spots with "HOLDING BACK THE YEARS"(Simply Red) ~ "BROKEN WINGS"(Mr. Mister) ~ "DRIVE"(The Cars) ~ "MANEATER"(Hall & Oates), each song with the original artist interpretation is "right on", know other compilations are out there in the vast world of '80s releases...this one hits the mark and lives up to its predecessor "I WANT MY 80's BOX!"[...] gives you a reason to face the everyday Hum-Drums...with both volumes it's Party Time, gotta love it!You might try other Universal/Hip-O releases ~ "Essential'80s:1985-1989" [...]..."The '80s Hits Back![...]..."Essential'80s:1980-1984"[...], all worthy of a good listen. Total: 3-CD-Collection [....]" A great by for Any fan on Eighties Music M. E. Newell | Georgia, United States | 05/01/2003 (4 out of 5 stars) "Hit me with your 80's box is great box set for anyone who likes eighties music. While it not as good as "Like, Omigod:The 80's pop culture box" It still will take the listener back to a great time in the music industry."
