What is sexy? Well, certainly not the Blow Monkeys' honking sax nugget "Digging Your Scene," nor the clunky sourpuss synth rock of Mr. Mister's "Kyrie." The latter quotes its chorus from Latin and the Lord's Prayer, for God's sake! Despite these miscues, Sexy '80s isn't that bad of a budget buy. It includes the normal ratio of hits to filler, the former spot held down by Thompson Twins' "Hold Me Now," Bow Wow Wow's "I Want Candy," and Love and Rockets' "So Alive," which might actually be somewhat sexy, in a rayon blazer-and-eye shadow sort of way. "Turning Japanese" is played-out, and "(She's) Sexy + 17" is strong, but it seems included here simply for its title. Best might be Hall & Oates' "Family Man." Again, not sexy, not one bit. But it's one of the duo's little gems. ~ Johnny Loftus, Rovi
