    tacky 80s stuff?

    I'm getting the Mrs an MP3 player for Xmas, and I was thinking it would be nice to have a load of stuff already on there for her. She's a big fan of 80s pop music, so can anyone recommend any good reasonably sized compilations or other CDs full of stuff like that? 80s pop isn't exactly my thing, so i'm not sure where to start

    The disadvantage I have here is that she uses my ebay account to buy stuff for herself as well, so it's going to be difficult for me to get stuff off ebay.

    eighties-tastic

    One question - why do they keep bringing out more 80s compilations? It's not like the 80s have changed is it?

    DO they think that the Great British Public are stupi..... oh, good point.
