Under The Influence

Who is this guy? What is this doing in my collection? Why do I know half these songs?

I have no idea who Don Henley is but many of these songs I've heard plenty of times over the years. Seriously, out of the ten 80s tracks I knew six of them and the others were plenty enjoyable. Unfortunately the album is let down by the last three mid-90s tracks - they should have ended it on The Heart Of The Matter (1989)... delete!

These are the sort of cool tracks that the compilation gods that do the Grand Theft Auto soundtracks pull out of the hat. The commercial ones that the general public has managed to forget about. Hell, GTA3 is probably why I downloaded this in the first place.

The Boys Of Summer and New York Minute are both epic. Dirty Laundry is probably my pick though.
