A value-priced collection of compilations that feature the music of the '50s through the '80s, Definitive Records' A Year in Your Life series presents a fun and eclectic mix of the sounds that defined the babyhood of the baby boomers through the adulthood of the "me" generation. Ranging across a variety of pop- and R&B-influenced styles, each CD in the series highlights the music of a single year. Historical tidbits and a musical trivia quiz are also included in the liner notes. The songs on 1983, Vol. 1 are brimming with '80s nostalgia. From the sexually charged "Hungry Like the Wolf" by Duran Duran to the clinically stylish "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" by the Eurythmics, this collection delivers a sound that encapsulates the style of early-'80s pop. Other gems include Styx's "Mr. Roboto," Golden Earring's "Twilight Zone," Madness' "Our House," and the charming "Come on Eileen" by Dexy's Midnight Runners. ~ Stacia Proefrock, Rovi
