Universal
's budget-line compilation
Icon
rounds up 11 of
Pat Benatar
's biggest hits from the '80s. Eleven tracks don't amount to much, but there are some charting Billboard singles that are missing; songs most casual fans won't remember: ("Le Bel Age (The Best Years)," "All Fired Up," "Ooh Ooh Song," "Looking for a Stranger," "The Victim," "Promises in the Dark"). And that means that all the songs a casual fan does know are here: "Love Is a Battlefield,' "Hit Me with Your Best Shot," "We Belong," "Heartbreaker," "Shadows of the Night," "Hell Is for Children," and "Invincible." And that means
will satisfy most listeners in need of a tight, satisfying collection of
Benatar
hits. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
