"This a far cry from what the 80's were about and a fantasy for the artists on this album hoping that they were the best of what the 80's had to offer. The CD features Cinderella w/ "Dont know what you got" This was a good song for Cinderella, a nice ballad from an era where ballads sold the album. Play music that you love to play and hope the fans love it as well. Dont write a song based on the a certain demand or for a certain demographic. 80'S metal was about Van Halen, Motley Crue, Ronnie James Dio, Ozzy, Ratt, Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, and to not mention AC/DC would be just wrong as was who ever came up with the idea to do a best of 80's cd without the above artists on it."
This is ugly

"sorry to say but only good song on here is "No One Like You" By the scorpions. There are much better best of 80's cds out there than this."
Not what it says it is

"This CD is not the best of 80's metal. It seems to me that they were trying to make a 3 CD set, so they threw this last one together. Ted Nugent and Billy Squier are rock, but NOT metal. Some of the other groups on here are not @ the top of most peoples' lists when it comes to 80's metal (ergo. XYZ, LA Guns, & White Lion). The best song here is the Scorpions "No One Like You." They are a band that actually deserves to be on a best of 80's metal compilation. I'm not impressed with this track list and I don't recommend buying this. The other 2 volumes of this series are worth having, but this is not."
Are you serious???
