"Arguably, the best of the '80's Metal Bands. Never could figure out why they where so underrated, they had an amazing lead singer in Tom Keifer (What couldn't the man do.) and that Polygram did nothing for them. They had the talent to be another band that stays around like Aerosmith, just keeps you rockin' and begging for more.

With the Rocked, Wired and Bluesed greatest hits package. Their older fans already have these songs, it offers nothing new and only get these songs digital enhansed with the new technology. With no new goodies on this one, I just burned my own copy from their original releases and made a second disc (see track list below). Another draw back to this release it covers their early career well and leaves off too many good tracks from Heartbreak Station and Still Climbing. Now if your picking up this release as your first Cinderella album you will love this 17 song collection of their best hits. Also realize there's a bunch of tracks missing from this release, that should be on it. You definately will want to pickup all their releases, because they are that good of a band.

Now I mentioned that, I burned my copy of this from their Original releases and went a step further and burned a second disc with 17 tracks. Well here's the trackinglist of that disc:

Nothin' For Nothin', Once Around The Ride, In From The Outside, Second Wind, Take Me Back, Love's Got Me Doin'Time, Sick For The Cure, One For Rock And Roll, Make Your Own Way, Love Gone Bad, All Comes Down, Talk Is Cheap, Through The Rain, Easy Come, Easy Go, The Road's Still Long, Move Over and War Stories."

THIS CD HAS NOT LEFT MY CD PLAYER SINCE I BOUGHT IT

"Back in the 1980s, when I was "metaler than thou," I trashed Cinderella as "just another hair band."



Well, a hair band they were. But now that I can drop the tough pose, hey, their stuff was pretty good! What has *happened* in between then and now is the death of music.



Tell me that I'm supposed to take lame "Coldplay" seriously, but not Cinderella. Sorry, I just can't do that. "Gypsy Road" is just plain and simple hard rockin' fun, to cruise to with the top down.



Take, for instance, "Shake Me." By 80's standards, it was pop. Twenty years later, I'm headbanging to it incessantly. Again: I'm supposed to respect Justin Timberlake seriously, but not Cinderella? Can't do that, either.



Time for all you "purist" metalheads to realize what greatness lies in these so-called cheesy hair bands. It's a wonderful feeling getting all sentimental about music I thought I was too good for twenty years ago, but something deep inside me told me wasn't really so bad after all.



Shame on me for being such a jerk. I'm even warming up to Bon Jovi, Poison, and Whitesnake now. It may have taken two decades, but now I'm Nobody's Fool."
