VA - The Other Side Of The 80s (2CD) (2016) {Rhino}

The Other Side Of The 80s is a 2CD compilation released by Rhino Records in 2016 to explore other hit songs by well known 80's artists, songs that may be well known but not by the mainstream. This includes alleged non-hits like "Things Can Only Get Better", "Talk Talk", "Some Like It Hot", "Election Day" and "The Look", all of which are well known but corporate radio has dramatically made people assume these songs are failures.
