1985-SIRE
Produced By DANIEL MILLER, GARETH JONES & DEPECHE MODE
1. Dreaming Of Me
2. New Life
3. Just Can't Get Enough
4. See You
5. The Meaning Of Love
6. Love In Itself
7. Master And Servant
8. Blasphemous Rumours
9. Somebody
10. Shake The Disease
11. Flexible
12. It's Called A Heart
13. Fly On The Windscreen
If it weren't for Depeche Mode, there would have been not nearly as much cool about new wave as there was. And while the early material has the cheesiest keyboard sound on the planet, they still wrote some really cool songs. Catching Up is a compilation released in the US only to give people a taste of what the then up and coming band had done on their first 4 albums. The songs are good...in particular, "Master And Servant" and "Fly On The Windscreen". Depeche Mode had more substance and staying power than their contemporaries...this album shows why.
The Mode is still at it today. They got darker after this was released, and they are considered electronic music pioneers. But they did also have some really great songs as well.

1983-GEFFEN
Produced By CLIVE LANGER & ALAN WINSTANLEY
1. Our House
2. Tomorrow's Just Another Day
3. It Must Be Love
4. Primrose Hill
5. Shut Up
6. House Of Fun
7. Night Boat To Cairo
8. Rise And Fall
9. Blue Skinned Beast
10. Cardiac Arrest
11. Grey Day
12. Madness (Is All In The Mind)
It's too bad that the US never really got Madness (except for "Our House")...because this is really a great band. This album was a hastily assembled compilation released only in America to capitalize on the huge success of "Our House". And, as you might expect, there are plenty of holes. "Driving In My Car", a great song, was omitted, and there was nothing from the great Absolutely album. Some tracks, like "Shut Up", "Cardiac Arrest", and "Grey Day" were questionable choices.
But the good stuff here is really good. Why American audiences weren't all over songs like "Tomorrow's Just Another Day", "It Must Be Love" and "Night Boat To Cairo" is a mystery. And "House Of Fun" is maybe the most fun song of the 80's...and that's saying a lot. This band had great chops, was a hell of a lot of fun, and had more great songs than most of the bands that were big in the decade. Look for a better compilation, or better yet...go for one of their earlier albums, like Madness Presents The Rise And Fall. But this is still a decent introduction. It's just that they were a lot more than this represents.

11. Megamix 2000
12. Megamix (Radio Edit)
From 1973 to 1978, Earth, Wind & Fire had the stage show and the hit songs to make them the premier soul/funk act of its time. Led by Maurice White, Verdine White and Philip Bailey, the run this band went on culminated in one of the most enduring Best Of packages of the 70's. Starting off with their stunning cover of The Beatles' "Got To Get You Into My Life" (from the horrible film Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band), this is one great track after another. "That's The Way Of The World", "Sing A Song", and the funk almighty "Shining Star" make this a must have.
The band, a nine piece behemoth, continued on but never matched what they did in the 70's. The best of it is right here, and is a great document. The two bonus tracks are just a taste of what's on the record. This is great stuff. [First added to this chart: 10/04/2026]

Hard to believe it now, but there was at time when Greg Kihn was on top and could do no wrong. The Greg Kihn Band was one of the hottest acts as the 70’s turned into the 80’s. From the mid 70’s to the mid 80’s, Kihn was a major player with several known songs, and then he fell off the face of the earth, at least musically. As his music career suffered, he became active in radio and as a novelist, both of which he’s had success at. But musically, he’s now known for two songs: “The Breakup Song (They Don’t Write ‘Em”) was a huge hit in 1981, and really established Kihn as a major player. The “uh-uh-uh” chorus is still very well known. His other lasting track is “Jeopardy” from 1983, anchored by an infectious keyboard line and famous for it’s video portraying Kihn as having a nightmare wedding…and for Weird Al Yankovic’s famous take as having a nightmare day on the well known game show. Other than that, Kihn’s hits have faded into obscurity.
Kihnsolidation features a shot of Kihn in all his 80’s mulleted glopry, along with a whopping 18 tracks…more than he ever had hits. There are some great tracks here, but unfortunately, some were left off because they decided no more than two tracks per album. Sad, because albums like Kihnspiracy and Kihntinued (yeah…the pun got old quick) had tracks that deserved to be here. But there are still gems, like the great “Can’t Stop Hurtyin’ Myself”, and a nice cover of Springsteen’s “For You”. There’s also the curious “Remember” and the fun and bouncy “Madison Avenue”. Also of note is “Love And Rock And Roll”, which features a young Joe Satriani in his first released recording. It’s great to hear Kihn again, and while his individual albums may vary in overall quality and scarcity, this is a nice, although imperfect, place to start.

Gomez has been pretty much ignored in the US. And we've been really missing out. Gomez is a machine. They have 3 strong and distinctive singers and writers, and they are loaded with great hooks. 36 tracks is a lot, but it's not a tiring listen. This is a compilation from their first 4 albums, and if you want to get hooked on a band, see them live and then buy this. You'll be an instant fan and you'll wonder why you've never heard of them. The band crosses genres and isn't afraid to play any instrument that happens to be laying around, their vocals are excellent and they sound like a band you'd love to play in. Gomez should have had hits all over the US, and you'll find many of them here. You'll want to hear more and more of them. Really. [First added to this chart: 08/31/2026]
