If the 2007 romantic comedy Starter for 10 is truly the "great British teen '80s movie that never was" as it is billed, then the film's soundtrack should be the musical equivalent. While it's not the greatest '80s soundtrack one could imagine, it is a nice collection of '80s college rock, punk and dance-pop that should appeal to anyone who owned a pair of Doc Marten shoes pre-1990. Included are cuts by such iconic '80s artists as the Cure, Yaz, Echo & the Bunnymen and the Style Council.
