When the Nazis came to power in 1933, Victor Klemperer (1881-1960), honored as a frontline veteran of World War I, was a distinguished professor at the University of Dresden. A scant few months later he was merely a Jew, protected from deportation to a death camp only by his marriage to an Aryan.

One need hear only the first notes of this collection--the Edges ringing guitar notes ushering in "Pride (In the Name of Love)"--to be taken back to 1984: Ronald Reagan and Maggie Thatcher rule the Western world, the L.A. Olympics is the top sports story, and Ms. Pac-Man reigns at arcades. In rock & roll, theres U2 growing in stature with each new tour and title. Even doubters of the Irish lads have to concede that together they formed the one 80s band with the skill and sense of scale to take over the airwaves and concert stages in a decade of diminished expectations. This 15-song 80s best-of assortment (stick around for the hidden track) spans the decade, reaching back to 1980s "I Will Follow," when Bono and company were peach-fuzzy and earnest as choirboys, and tracking their path through their most glaring misstep, 1988s overblown Rattle and Hum.
