Summary:

Eh, Greatest Hit parades aren't my thing, usually it means a bunch of stuff from a band that I don't care enough about to get their individual CD's.  Cameo (funk), David Benoit (smooth jazz), Howard Jones (New Wave), It Bites (prog hair metal) and Jan Hammer (electronica) round out the quintet of 80's fun. None of which really stood out, but all of which are essential to my collection for those 'wow, I could really go for the Miami Vice soundtrack' moments.  These are the definition of the 'Moodies' category.

I still don't really like Jethro Tull.

King's X, ELP and Kansas are the winners with King's X getting the nod.
