 She bopped and flopped October 20, 2008
Cyndi Lauper was an icon of 1980's MTV generation hooray of fake importance. "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun", written by Robert Hazard as a wry comment on sexual mores was uptossed upturned and confetti celebrated as an anthem for pre-adolecent girls wanting to wear colorful clothes and kinda rebel at the same time.
Cyndi had much more in mind. She was in a recored band "Blue Angel" that sold nothing. She found herself in finding song writers that fit her fairy tale. A classic 1980's LP/Cass/CD "She's So Unusual" had 4 (Four !) hits "Girl's", the cover of Brains' punkish "Money Changes Everything", the Hooter's cover of the ballad, "Time After Time", and the winking smirk of female masturbation, "She Bop". All included in this compliation. + the subllime ballad, "True Colors".
One star docked for the inclusion of one of the worse songs ever, "Goonies "R" Good Enough".
The Eseential Cyndi lauper May 8, 2008
Ms. lauper had the look, the style, and the pipes to be a major force in the 1980's. At the time, I thought she was going to outdo Madonna, but she was not as driven and her career sputterred, even though she still has a loyal fan base to this day. If you like Cyndi, this is the best collection to have.

This is a great collection of Cyndi's music. I was going to buy She's So Unusual but this album had all the great songs from that CD along with a couple of extra great songs from other albums and singles. Cyndi's music is fantastic and plays well even today (although I am biased as I grew up listening to She's So Unusual, watching her videos, and loving The Goonies). You won't regret buying this CD ... guaranteed!
