Title: Some lost gems!
Review: Pure Canadian Retro 80's Vol. 6 is a treasure-trove of lost gems, some songs that I remebered from the 80's, and some great songs I had somehow missed in my reckless youth.Classics are Martha & the Muffins "Echo Beach" - which seems to get better with each listen, Sherry Kean's underappreciated "I Want You Back" (which won a Juno), and , of course, TPOH's "I'm An Adult Now", the song that started it all.Rational Youth's "Saturdays in Silesia" is an excellent synthpop romp, and Minutes From Downtown's "Heaven Street" is a sugary 80's treat.The only blemishes to this album are couple of post-80's-sounding tunes from the likes of Glass Tiger, Grapes of Wrath, and Northern Pikes. Excuse me while I retch. These bands are not 80's music, I don't care what year their albums came out.This is definitely one album all 80's fans should own. My only complaint is...where are the Platinum Blonde tunes?
