The Outfield

5 CDs in one box, packed with the best music for the street, the highway, the truck, the motorcycle and everyone who needs the perfect sound for freedom, vacation and enjoyable "being on the road" and it's a little dustier and with more like guitars. From tender to hard, from rock classics to country evergreens, from Los Angeles to Nashville, here comes handmade music from real musical icons from the best music decades.

The 1980s were probably the last real decade for the pop single. It was certainly the last one in which every record that made the Hot 100 was an actual vinyl single. Radio was still breaking big hits and new artists, rather than TV talent shows and the still-nascent Internet. And people still rushed to their local record store to buy what their local station was playing, rather than streaming or downloading it.

34 Track CD compilation from Sony Music, featuring Rock artists associated to the Label. Featuring Boston, Foreigner, REO Speedwagon, The Doobie Brothers & Others. Nice Rock Collection.

Like Omigod! The 80s Pop Culture Box (Totally) is a seven-disc, 142-track box set of popular music hits of the 1980s. Released by Rhino Records in 2002, the box set was based on the success of Have a Nice Decade: The 70s Pop Culture Box, Rhino's box set covering the 1970s. Like Omigod! includes a 90-page booklet of cultural comment, a timeline for the decade, and liner notes for the tracks included in the set. As does Have a Nice Decade, the tracks tend to be from the lesser-known artists who were one-hit wonders, although music from the best-selling artists of the era are also included. In addition, many of the 1980s musical styles — rock, pop, country pop, new wave, funk, disco and rhythm and blues — are represented.
