 Rating:  - A Solid Compilation Of Big Names And Long ForgottensGranted, 80's Metal may be a slightly misleading title, but this album does offer up a nice helping of hair metal and hard rock tunes. It features great songs like "Cum On Feel The Noize" and "Rock Me," but it also has some lesser known tunes from bands that didn't get the airplay that bands like Poison and the Scorpions (who's "Talk Dirty To Me" and "Blackout" are on this album, respectively). Bands like Rainbow, Accept, and Y&T, didn't make it into the radio rotation as much as Slaughter and ...

It is missing bands like Whitesnake, Ratt, and MOTLEY CRUE! but it still rocks. Bands like Cinderella should have had the song Shake Me and Poison should have Nothin' But A Good Time but ohh well. Highlihts are TNT, Cinderella, Europe, Mr.Big, Whitelion, Dangerous Toys, Accept, Great White, Slaughter, Kingdom Come, Warrant, Twisted Sister, Extreme, Winger, Dokken, Scorpions, ...

Rating:  - Now what will they do when they actually want to release an 80's METAL compilation??I was excited when I saw this CD title in the future releases. When I finally looked at it, I was shocked to see that there is NO metal on this compilation! Most of these songs can barely be described as hard rock. This is heavy pop. I wish they had called it 80's GLAM. I hope the future brings an addition to this usually excellent series with Testament, Exodus, Rage, Vio-lence, Megadeth, etc. |
