The Thorogood cover had me fooled. I confess my source was a pirated file. Ask a Thorogood fan to listen to it, while making up a story that it's a bootleg of GT playing on X and acting funnier than usual in a Delaware joint, and see if they ask for a copy. Tell them that would be illegal and see if they'll squabble over it.

Rating: - Don't buy this!
This collection is terrible. These songs were not done by the original artist. Instead this rogue group known as The Countdown Singers are responsible for the performances on this disc. It's a shame that they don't have enough integrity to make their name more easily detected. Of course, if we saw an 80s cd by the countdown singers in big bold letters nobody would probably want to buy it. Stay away! If you come across a similar cd at a store just make sure you read the fine print and be suspicious of the low price.

First off, let me preface this by saying I did not buy this product from Amazon.com or any of the affiliated sellers. I purchased this CD during the weekend of February 17, 2006 during my run at the local Wal-Mart. It was being sold as a 2 disc set entitled "Rockin' '80s" (which is near identical to the Awesome '80s 3 disc set, and actually MusicMatch will recognize these CDs as part of the Awesome '80s 3-pack) and it was bargin priced at $5.80. I didn't think twice about it because I have purchased other bargin priced music from Wal-Mart in the past and it has always been the original artist(s). Well my lack of looking at the CD to determine the artist and grabbing a CD just because it says "'80s" on the cover was a big mistake. As everyone has professed already, these are not the original artists but cover artists who are doing the rendition of songs listed on these CDs. Now don't get me wrong, I have no problem with popular songs being covered by artists who didn't originally record the work, my problem with this CD is that the music is unoriginal and uninspired in my opinion. The cover artists do nothing to make the music their own and seem more content in trying to sound like the original artists rather than creating an unique sound that might give them more credit with the audience who inadvertantly purchased their music. Under normal circumstances, I would have never purchased this CD (bargin priced or not) but for the price I paid for accidently buying this CD, it gets by o.k. One would be better serve to buy a real '80s compiliation or looking to getting some "Now That's I Call Music 198X" Import CDs for some true '80s music.

Rating: - Pretty Good
I thought this was a good tribute to the original singers. The song, "Heaven" sounds just like the original that it's kinda scary.
Anyway, this is not a mix of 80s songs, this is a collection of 80s songs sung by a group called, The Countdown Singers.

This is not what you are thinking. If you like 80's music like me, don't be fooled. When I started to play the cd, I noticed the music didn't sound right. Once I heard the sining part, I thought someone pulled a fast one on me. Then I reexamined my order and saw I could only blame myself.

This should be more clear about who is singing. The Countdown Singers are a group. I would have neve suspected it wasn't the original artist. There was a 80's collection called Awsome 80's. I had remembered it from the 90's. The Countdown Singers have just got their last bit of money from me. You can bet I will avoid their work from now on. If you think I'm being too harsh, just listen to them. The only thing I'll be diong with these cd's is using them for dog chew toys.
