Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars An excellent selection of songs by female singers.......1999-12-22

As is apparent from the listing above, this CD is a selection of songs from many of the leading female singers of the 80s and 90s. (A few odd absences include the Go-Gos, Olivia Newton-John, Scandal, Stevie Nicks, and Blondie, especially considering that less commercially-successful artists such as Michelle Shocked, Vonda Shephard, and Belly are featured.)

The appeal of a compilation CD is that you can get songs by "one-hit wonders" without having to shell out for a bunch of lame songs. Obviously, this depends on your individual tastes, but, for example, "Kiss Me Deadly" is the only Lita Ford song I've heard that I've liked, and not enough to get an entire Ford album.

A few other oddities: "The French Song" by Joan Jett rather than "I Love Rock and Roll;" "She-Bop" by Cyndi Lauper rather than "Girls Just Want to Have Fun."
