Music Club Deluxe's No. 1 80s Pop Album collects 36 specimens that dutifully exhibit characteristics of new wave, post-punk, and pop/rock. This is a U.K.-based compilation, so there are lots of singles here that never reached the same heights on U.S. charts, but if you're a fan of the usual '80s fare like "Down Under" (Men at Work), "Walk Like an Egyptian" (Bangles), and "99 Red Balloons" (Nena), you'll have no problem ingesting the fruity goodness of less familiar faces like Roachford, Fairground Attraction, and Bomb the Bass. ~ James Christopher Monger
