5.0 out of 5 stars Forget the Nineties!!, October 30, 1999

By A Customer

For the 23+ crowd, take a nostalgic journey back in time when music had real soul and emotion. Some of the best rock ballads from the 80s are all in this CD; Whitesnake, Slaughter, just to name a few. It's music like this that puts to shame the empty sounds of the 90s. Accolades to VHI for making an effort to revitalize a style of music that didn't get the recognition it deserved!

4.0 out of 5 stars A surprise to someone who didn't know the songs, February 15, 2004

By	MZ (Novinger, MO United States) - See all my reviews

When I bought this CD, I wanted only one song: "House of Pain" by Faster Pussycat. I knew a couple of the other songs, like "When the Children Cry" by White Lion and "The Search Is Over" by Survivor (which I had never thought of as a "heavy-metal power ballad" but like nonetheless).

Surprise! There are some great songs on here! "Don't Close Your Eyes" by Kix; "Goodbye" by Night Ranger; and "Fly High Michelle" soon became my favorites. I love buying a CD and finding out that you either know more songs than you thought you knew OR discover some great new songs that you can't believe you've never heard before.

BOTH were the case for me with this CD. So I suggest that even if you don't know all of the songs on this compilation, give it a try. There are only a few songs I skip when I listen to this CD. Good collection.
