Although there's nothing particularly out of the ordinary of
Pure 80's
, it nevertheless is a good, basic collection of 20
new wave
hits, highlighted by such classics as
"Hungry Like the Wolf,"
"Our House,"
"Relax,"
"Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This),"
"Video Killed the Radio Star,"
"Everybody Wants to Rule the World,"
and
Soft Cell
's timeless reworking of
"Tainted Love."
