The decade of the audio Compact Disc, the 1980s brought Dire Straits a megahit album with Brothers In Arms. Elsewhere musical talent was going in all sorts of directions- the Eurythmics had a late blooming success with Love Is A Stranger and Madonna was looking for success de scandale with her video for Like A Virgin . It was in the 1980s that Bowie?s Ashes To Ashes arrived like an instant classic, while The Pet Shop Boys and Frankie Goes To Hollywood helped to define a decade that was never going to be called colourless. The Big Book Of 80s Songs includes 28 hits from the 1980s, arranged for Piano, Voice and Guitar.
