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.
This is the 40th Anniversary Edition of The Pop Group's highly influential and innovative debut album ‘Y’ released in 1979, remastered from the original tapes.
Containing over 40 Australian chart hits from the 1980s, the latest in this highly sought after series delves further into our pop music culture of the 1980s with Christie Allen, Machinations, Vertical Hold, Electric Pandas to the one smash hit from Monte Video And The Cassettes!

Again compiled by Brent James, the collection contains detailed liner notes along with State by State chart positions and is a must-have for any fan of Aussie Pop of the 80s.
