| | Only Dance 1980-1984 CD
It's Only Dance 1980-1984 follows the pattern of JCI's It's Only series, offering a seemingly random collection of 20 hits from a given genre or style for a period of five years.These songs weren't necessarily the biggest hits of these five years, although there are a number of classics and smashes here. It may be hard to deduce exactly why these songs were chosen -- especially since the compilers apparently define "dance" as anything you could conceivably dance to -- but the end results are nevertheless quite entertaining. All of the songs are featured in their original hit versions, not remakes, which isn't always the case with midline collections. Furthermore, there a few cuts that aren't easy to find on other collections or even greatest-hits albums, which means it's interesting to collectors as well as casual fans. Most importantly, each volume captures the feeling of the era, even if it's missing several big hits, and that's what makes the series a nice introductory overview for curious listeners. Among the highlights on It's Only Dance 1980-1984 are Rick James' "Super Freak," Blondie's "Rapture," the Go-Go's' "We Got the Beat," the Stray Cats' "Rock This Town," the Gap Band's "You Dropped a Bomb on Me," Herbie Hancock's "Rockit," Talking Heads' "Burning Down the House," the Pretenders' "Back on the Chain Gang," Toni Basil's "Mickey," the Fixx's "One Thing Leads to Another," Hall & Oates' "You Make My Dreams," Sheena Easton's "Strut," Laura Branigan's "Self Control," KC & the Sunshine Band's "Please Don't Go" and Shannon's wonderful "Let the Music Play." ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine Only Dance 1980-1984 Music Only Dance 1980-1984 Songs Only Dance 1980-1984 Review

Only Dance 1980-1984 music CDs
$29.79 The years covered on Curb's The Bocephus Box (1979-1999) are the 20 years where Hank Jr. was an American icon, the larger-than-life rowdy man of country. His rise began in the early '80s, when he hit upon a terrific blend of honky tonk, Southern rock, blues, and country that appealed to rock and country audiences alike -- rednecks of all persuasions, as less charitable critics would say. Throughout the '80s, he ruled the country charts, as every single one of his new albums went gold. For some observers, he slipped into self-parody halfway through that reign, but as this three-disc box set proves, the best of his music was remarkably consistent. Yes, the individual albums sagged ...
