CD ReviewsPOWERFUL BALLADS INDEED Hudson G TANNIS | LAURELTON, NEW YORK United States | 04/03/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "THIS IS CLASSIC ROCK AT ITS FINEST HOWEVER SOME PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE INCLUDED MARIAH CAREY.WE LIVE IN A VERY SICK WORLD.GREAT MUSIC GREAT SONG SELECTIONS." A Great Collection of Power Ballads Jeffrey T. Munson | Dixon, IL | 04/07/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "Many of the artists on this CD are known for their hard-rocking songs, but these rockers also have a softer side, as evidenced by this great collection of "power ballads". Included in this fine collection is "Every Rose Has It's Thorn" by Poison, Def Leppard's "Love Bites", "The Flame" by Cheap Trick, "Sister Christian", by Night Ranger, "When I'm With You", by Sheriff, and Boston's "Amanda". The other songs included on the CD are very good, also, and its nice to hear these slower songs from these groups. Although this CD is by no means a "definitive" collection, the producers did do a good job of selecting a wide range of songs from the 80s and 90s that made this time period memorable. I give this disc my highest recommendation. The songs contained on it are all familiar ones, and they still sound great today. Fans of 80s and 90s rock ballads will want to include this disc in their collection. " Every bad boy has their soft side Edgar Olivares | New York City, NY USA | 03/26/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is a great sample of some of the best rock ballads though at eighteen tracks, it only scratches the surface. It's great to have Def Leppard's "Love Bites" and Journey's "Faithfully" instead of the overplayed "Open Arms" on this album. Also, Night Ranger's "Sister Christian", Extreme's "More Than Words", Tesla's "Love Song", and Slaughter's "Fly To The Angels" are edited versions. "When I'm With You" by Sheriff reached number one seven years after it was recorded. Aerosmith's "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing" also topped the charts although I would have prefered their Top Five hit "Angel". And the lead singer on "When I See You Smile" is John Waite ("Missing You").
This is by no means a definitive collection but it's without a doubt a great introduction to hard rock's softer side. For that, I won't get into what tracks aren't here. However, I wouldn't be surprised if another volume of this title appears somewhere down the line. Total Time- 79:57 " |
