I have to admit I'm a sucker for the eighties. I'm also one who has suffered through many bad break-ups especially in the eighties so this brings me back to all those sad days spent crying and watching my boyfriend walk down the halls with another girl. This is music you listen to on Valentine's Day as you watch a sappy movie and eat a box of candy you bought for yourself.

This is a great quality cd with good sound and all the old ones. My favorites on here are "Two out of Three Ain't Bad", "Nobody's Fool", "Total Eclipse of the Heart" and especially the bluesy "What Love Can Be" which is kind of a rare song for a compilation. There are also plenty of other great ones from popular bands from that time. Its definitely a good one for us ladies to look back at that era and remember the old days good or bad.

All in all, one of the best ballad compilations out there. Its a great price. Yes, its sappy but a great buy!

For the late 20 somethings and early 30 somethings, this CD will bring you back to your high school years. If you like nostalgic 80's music, you'll like this CD. If you grew up in the 80's, listening to love ballads than you will appreciate the music on this CD. For those who do not like 80's music, especially heavy metal love ballads, STAY AWAY. You will not be satisfied with this CD.

On the other hand, those who grew up in the 80's will enjoy rehashing old times with friends while listening to this dated collection.

Love Bites, along with Monster Ballads, and Power Ballads, is one of the three great love ballad collections from the eighties. Here one finds compelling compositions that actually led me to chase down other compositions from some of the artists, such as Cinderella (overall an estimable band, but with three great songs, including "Nobody's Fool", "Don't know what you got til it's gone", and "It's gonna be a long cold winter without your love"). "Good-bye" by Enuff z'Enuff is exceptional, and many of the songs similarly do not fit one genre, but stand as a tribute to the ability of hard-rock bands to make great love songs, simply by the power of their slo-mo exectuion. Well worth the buy.

Very good compliation with nice songs, but hey, where is the song Love Bites from Def Leppard???. These songs are worth their weigth in gold as they say. And it's true they bring back good and sad memories.

If you are like I am and a huge fan of the 80's music era, then you will love this CD packed full of slow love songs from this generation. A must have collection...

This CD has a collection of what's supposed to be one of the best Romantic Ballads in the music.. The bands there, well most of them are now out of date.. but some are still giving to the music industry.. The music there is great, as to be of the old ballads that can never be forgotten.. more likely a collectors edition for those who like romantic rock melodies.. i recommend this CD as a gift to an older person, or someone who really needs to hear some REAL good music!!
