There you go; a compilation no one but me would likely buy due to indie versus cheese factor! I could have gone all night with that, but that sounds too much like an eighties song by Cyndi Lauper. Can't recommend a particular compilation; it's always a matter of opinion; I prefer early 80's stuff so there would be a bias to that and away from Stock Aitken and Waterman stuff. Ultimately it's an each to his own thing; best to make your own compilation with all your faves on it.
