Olympics is the top sports story, and Ms. Pac-Man reigns at arcades. In rock & roll, there's U2 growing in stature with each new tour and title. Even doubters of the Irish lads have to concede that together they formed the one '80s band with the skill and sense of scale to take over the airwaves and concert stages in a decade of diminished expectations. This 15-song '80s best-of assortment (stick around for the hidden track) spans the decade, reaching back to 1980's "I Will Follow," when Bono and company were peach-fuzzy and earnest as choirboys, and tracking their path through their universal domination with 1988's Rattle and Hum. --Steven Stolder Review: U2’s 80s - their road to the universal, complex and immensely popular - The Irish supergroup became the whole world’s property in 1987, with “The Joshua Tree” album, and after three more major LPs later, in 1998, they put out this compilation, skimming the entire 1980s (plus one added new track, “The Sweetest Thing”). The compilation is as good as can be expected, including all main hits/singles and not leaving much space for album tracks. For casual fans this will be enough, for those wanting to explore the Irish treasures’ catalog, this CD is only an appetizer. Surprisingly enough, the biggest number of songs - 4 - is reserved at the end of the record to tracks off the live double album “Rattle and Hum”, where U2 expanded the palette of their sounds, beginning with the sublime “Desire”. On the other pole is the duo of songs from the 1983 “War” album, plastically dealing with painful legacy of the Northern Ireland troubles, and even “I Will Follow” from 1980. You can also trace the beginnings of their trademark cinematic production, expertly executed by Lanois/Eno, starting on “The Unforgettable Fire”. The album well documents how the U2 songs were becoming gradually more multi-layered, and - paradoxically - more popular with that. Review: A Must For Any Music Fans Collection - When dealing with Greatest Hits and Best Of collections sometimes, depending on the depth of the artists catelogue, you sometimes find fillers or somebodies favourite would be omitted. On this album you have 14 songs and each one is a classic. There had been so much written about U2 that I would be sure to regurgitate something from somebody and so all I will give is my simple opinion. Joshua Tree was perhaps the best album of the eighties (and there was a lot to choose from), anybody who saw the Live Aid concert in 85 would get goosebumps everytime they hear 'Bad' and as a collection this album shows how a rock bad matures from raw prococious talent to rounded smooth musicians were the talent level just keep climbing. The voice, the guitar work have all been written about before but for me the pleasure is just in listening to a cauldron of angst, protest, fastidiousness and attention to detail. Like the title says even if not a true fan of the band this should be in your collection if you are a fan of music. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00000DFSK | | Best Sellers Rank | 786 in CDs & Vinyl ( See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl ) 81 in Classic British Rock 113 in Pop Rock | | Country of origin | Germany | | Customer reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (4,020) | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 2138675 | | Label | Island | | Manufacturer | Island | | Number of discs | 1 | | Original Release Date | 1980 | | Product Dimensions | 14.3 x 12.29 x 0.99 cm; 104.04 g | ## Images ![The Best Of: 1980-1990 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61qMYmir0HL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ U2’s 80s - their road to the universal, complex and immensely popular *by A***T on 25 April 2020* The Irish supergroup became the whole world’s property in 1987, with “The Joshua Tree” album, and after three more major LPs later, in 1998, they put out this compilation, skimming the entire 1980s (plus one added new track, “The Sweetest Thing”).
