Definitive 80's collection?
OK, I'm looking for the definitive 80's pop music collection. I want to get a hold of all the songs I grew up listening to. Originally I was thinking I would like to get the Billboard top 100 for every year, but that would take a boatload of money to acquire. Doing some searching I've found tons of "various artists" and mix CDs. There are so many out there... but it could take forever mixing and matching to get all the songs I'd like to have.
Does anyone know of a set or series of discs that covers the most? Maybe a set of 10 discs or something like that? Keep in mind that I want more than just #1's.
I appreciate the input.

I've thought about picking this one up one of these days:
Like, Omigod! The '80s Pop Culture Box (Totally)

Compilation albums are mostly the one and two hit wonders.
If you stay with compilations, you'll never have 80s heyday hits from
Michael Jackson
Madonna
Bruce Springsteem
Bon Jovi
U2
Culture Club
Duran Duran
Cyndi Lauper
Def Leppard
Van Halen
Pet Shop Boys
INXS

Josh-Da-Man and TomOpus - THANKS! Those are the kind of things I'm looking for. That one on Amazon seems like it may be the way to go.

Albums like VH's 1984 and 5150, Def Lep's Pyromania, Duran Duran's Rio, etc., should probably be in a collection of anyone interested in 80s music. But many may not feel the need to have a full Kajagoogoo album.

I'll second the Living in Oblivion set. It probably has most of what you are looking for, without the asinine name the other 80's boxed set has.
