This is by far my favorite K-Tel album. It introduced me to the Romones. The Pretenders. Blondie. Pat Benatar.This is K-Tel's Rock 80. I got this album on cassette for Christmas in 1980 and wore that tape out. I must say, it was this album that shaped my musical tastes in the early 80s. I was drawn more to the new wave music and early alternative music thanks, in part, to Rock 80.
