Shes Having a Baby. That cd contains songs from Love and Rockets, Bryan Ferry, XTC, and many more great artists. Cool World cd is awesome-Im not sure if thats still 80s. I also agree with the earlier post about the movie Less Than Zero-great movie/soundtrack.

I almost forgot about Dirty Dancing; just about every song on that soundtrack is great.  I also like the cover versions of the Ritchie Valens songs (the title track and Come On Let's Go) that Los Lobos did for the film La Bamba.
