The 2 CD Set is a Better Bargain If you Count the Songs Correctly.......2006-07-15

I just wanted to correct the reviewer "Tanya" who stated that the 2 CD Platinum Edition only contained 20 songs versus the 18 on this particular edition. The set with 2 CD's is a GREAT value because it includes 32 songs, not 20!!!! It helps to count the entire song list when comparing the CD's.

The 2-CD Edition includes the following songs that are not included on the edition with only 18 songs:

1. Angel Song - Great White
2. Don't Close Your Eyes - Kix
3. Fly High Michelle - Enuff Znuff
4. Honestly - Stryper
5. House Of Pain - Faster Pussycat
6. If You Needed Somebody - Bad Company
7. I'll Never Let You Go - Steelheart
8. I'll See You In My Dreams - Giant
9. Love Is On The Way - Saigon Kick
10. Miles Away - Winger
11. Only Time Will Tell - Nelson
12. The Flame - Cheap Trick
13. When I See You Smile - Bad English
14. When I'm With You - Sheriff

You can figure that each of these songs would cost $0.99 if purchased individually through a service such as iTunes, so I recommend paying the extra money for the 2 CD edition versus purchasing this CD with only 18 songs. This is the best collection of power ballads on the market.

Doesn't seem to be what the commercial promised.......2006-03-10

I imagine that this disk has all the songs advertised on TV, but somehow I remember being a lot more excited about it while watching the commercial than I was when I got the CD. There are a few true gems on here though- perhaps those are the only songs they played in the commercial. Something everyone should know: the 2-cd edition costs twice as much, but only has 20 songs compared to 18 songs on this disc. This disc lacks 3 of the songs that the other set has, but has an additional song not included in the 2-cd set.

No one has put these power ballads in one collection like this! Excellent! .......2006-02-19

No one has ever put these power ballads together like this on one single CD! Although there is a 34-song collection of this CD, the 18 chosen for this collection were pretty well chosen. But this was a strong subgenre from 1987 to 1991, when there were an increasing number of power ballads by heavy metal bands becoming hits. It seemed common for the ballads to peak at No.1 or 2, so very high, while their rockers finished lower at No. 6, 7, 8 or 10. Maybe some people were more comfortable with their ballads than the layers of loud guitars blasting over them. They surprisingly balanced well with the R&B ballads and pop dance hits back then. Most of these songs I've seen on other compilations, but this is the first one to include Carrie's Europe and Kiss' underrated Forever. This one is more balanced, from the acoustic numbers of Extreme, Tesla, Poison and Mr. Big, to the loud guitars of High Enough, I Remember You to even the bluesy Cinderella ballad which I still love. I still love Whitesnake's adventurous Is This Love. It's even message driven, even in Scorpions' Wind Of Change. And there's something about the quiet mood of Queensryche's Silent Ludicity that still is haunting today. Another favorite I like here is Kix' Don't Close Your Eyes, which avoids the typical formulaic approach of the other power ballad hits and has a strong musical performance all throughout. This is a dynamic collection to recall this solid music period in popular music.

All the Cheese.......2007-03-30

This album epitomizes the cheese apparent in heavy metal. After being the rebellion soundtrack of choice in the 80s, it was overtaken by rap, whose top stars were criminal gangsters. This album has all the songs that made metal so great back in the day, only to lose their sense of humor later on as it's big stars turned into old men. Why would a bunch of jocks turn this into a popularity game? To some one like me who drinks every day, I love most of these songs, but where's the humor?

A great running CD.......2006-06-27

This CD is good to put into your Walkman and take a long run with.

There's not much to say except that the CD is all around good owing to a strong selection of songs. Well worth the purchase price and something that you'll listen to often over the years (as I have).

Monster Ballads, Vol. 2 Review.......2007-01-15

This cd was great and the one my husband wanted. The songs are very enjoyable.

Monster Ballads Volume 2.......2006-03-17

Great songs from the the 80's big hair period. Love most all of them!!!!

This is the better album of that series.......2004-11-07

I still like to mention this album in conversations, because some of today's songs, even country band Lonestar's power ballads like Amazed, borrow from this rock album. I like the choices of songs from the heavy metal bands here. But the writing is very good, the musical arrangements are dynamite and there's a loudness to the power ballads that can rival their heavy rockers! Firehouse, L A Guns, Poison and some others have some very dynamite songs here. This is the much better album of that series, versus the more commercial sheen of the first.

No Foreigner = 4 stars.......2002-12-21

I agree, both of these CDs are great collaborations...however, they forgot the greatest love ballad of all time: I Wanna Know What Love Is - By Foreigner. How could they turn that song away from this collection. That song would give this album 5 stars. Anyway, monster snares and big hair forever

A wonderful blend of romantic songs.......2006-08-20

Forget Celine Dion and the other fluff on the "light rock" stations, for children of the 80s like myself, this is the stuff romantic moments are made of.

Wanna ride in my Trans Am?.......2005-11-09

This is a FUN double-disc collection. Power Ballads Gold has some awfully bad (in a good way) songs on it. There were a few songs I had never heard before, but they definitely fit the hair-band mold.

Definitely cheesey. Definitely worth the money. This is much better than buying all of the individual band's CDs, which probably only have one or a few good songs on them.

Rock out with your air guitar! Good songs for singing extremely loudly on the way home from work!

It has it all !!!.......2005-11-04

This CD has songs from the 70's, 80's and 90's. I have many other sets and honestly they do have some of these songs but this set is my favorite. This set has alot of songs that should have been on the others but were overlooked. Theres no crappy filler here anyone who likes this music must check this one out.

Nice compilation.......2007-05-07

It was good to recover the feeling of these powerful love ballads. Not all of them elicit the same feeling in me, but, hey... this is music. In my view, the first two songs already justify the purchase. You can take the rest as "bonus" features. Enjoy!

Oh. My. God........2005-07-13

How could I forget these songs? This, along with both Monster Ballads albums, are all you need to rock with your lover, Hair Band-style.

I couldn't even remember some of these by their titles. But when I heard *that refrain* at 1:18 on Tesla's Love Song, I nearly cried.

Every song took me back. I was about 13 when most of these (along with the selections from the aforementioned albums) were hits. I went to see Skid Row and Warrant and Trickster in concert. Of course I also loved Bon Jovi, Poison, Guns n Roses, etc. Loved this era!

A must have if you're a fan of the genre!

Can't Fight This Feeling (and Don't Want To).......2005-07-13

One of the best compilations of power ballads on the market, "Feel Like Makin' Love" runs the gamut of emotions, from a longing for love, to loving so hard it hurts, to lost love and heartache. You'll experience the raw emotions each song has to offer as these musicians put their feelings on display for everyone to see.

This CD may help you to relive a long lost love, put an exclamation point on what you might be feeling now in a current relationship, help you visualize the dreams of your heart and soul, or emphasize the ache and emptiness of a broken heart.

Even hard rockers have a romantic side, and this CD exhibits their rough-but-gentle, heart-felt souls. Bad Company "Feels Like Makin' Love," The Scorpions try to rekindle a betrayed heart in "Still Loving You," Foreigner wants to know what love is, REO Speedwagon "can't fight this feeling anymore," Boston's Tom Shulz can't wait to tell "Amanda" how he feels, Cheap Trick remembers a lost love, Winger is "headed for a heartbreak," and Bad English says that everything's all right "when I see you smile."

These songs will have you smiling, sighing, wishing or crying, depending on your mood when you listen to them. If you're ready for a flood of raw, unbridled emotions, then you'll want this CD, and its companion, "Love Bites."

But beware: once you listen to this CD, you'll never be the same again.

The Lost Ballads of Rock, Now Found.......2002-12-21

Wow, I am throughly amazed that I finally found the music I've been looking for for years. This had the best of cheap trick, Whitesnake, and old song of Ratt, and many others. You cannot find most of these songs, musicians in stores anymore. It is very few and far between when you can find 1 tape of the group let alone get everyone you want to hear on 1 tape. I think I have fallen in love with Amazon.com. Thanks for helping me find my music Again.

Awesome music.......2006-09-13

If you like the Scorpions you can't go wrong with this CD. Excellent selection of all my favorites.

Pre Wind of Change Best of.......2006-08-30

This disc got a fair bit of push at the time but when it was released prior their biggest international hit (Wind of Change) the validity of this '89 release comes into question for the latter day convert. No arguing with the tracks that are on the disc though. Have a squiz at the track listing and you'll see the quality. Rock You Like A Hurrican, Rhythm of Love, Big City Nights and Lovedrive all do the job as does their cover song Can't Explain which was also the bands contribution to the Stairway To Heaven, Highway to Hell compilation album. Some of the ballads don't work for me personally but a number of them were hits in certain territories like Still Loving You and No One Like You. The title gives fair warning, for every You Give Me All I Need ther is a rocker like Blackout and Another Piece of Meat.

I always get a good feeling about this album but that's probably because I bought it while on holiday in Switzerland so perhaps the good vibes of my trip are colouring my judgement a bit. But for me this is a four star release due to it's judicious blend of metal (Blackout/Another Piece of Meat), hard rock (Rock You Like A Hurricane), generic rock 'n' roll (Can't Explain) and ballads (No On Like You etc). But there are later and far more exhaustive best of packages out there nowadays, so despite the quality tunes this is a package of limited value for buyers today. Still, top wattage.

Absolutely Great CD!.......2006-08-26

Not sure why people are bashing this CD because it's one of my absolute favorite CD's of all time. My first Scorps purchase was "The Zoo" on a 45. For you youngens, that's a single song on a vinyl disk that's played on a record player. Good luck finding any of these anymore! I upgraded from my 45 version of The Zoo to the full-blown LP. I had to save up my pennies to get this expensive album when it came out and then figure out how to record it onto a cassette. What can I say, I was a kid and I was broke. For those that don't know what an album is, it's also a vinyl disk but this baby ran at 33 revolutions per second and had better quality sound than the 45 and even had a bunch more songs like a CD does today. The cassette was a miracle product that came on the market shortly after those wonderful 8 track players came into full swing. Ah, I miss the days of seeing an 8-track tape fluttering in the breeze after someone threw the tape out his or her car window at 65 mph because the darn thing got stuck in the player for the last time. Those were the days all right. Speaking of CD's, when these little beauties came on the scene, I had the money and went straight out and bought this CD right after buying my first CD player. At that time you couldn't record to a CD like you can today. Did I mention I didn't stop there? I had to go out and get the DVD's as well and how about that mp3 file in my cell phone? Anyway, I've played these songs through most of my adult life. On the CD version I played the laser dots off the disk. Did I mention I'm loosing my hearing from playing Scorps rock tunes like Still Loving You at full volume on a Boze system that really cranks? But wait, there's more. I love the songs on this album, oops, I mean CD, so much that I couldn't just listen to them anymore. I wanted to learn how to play them myself so I went to the local Guitar Center Store and spent a little more coin on a new $1000 guitar and $900 Marshall amp. Sorry Amazon, you weren't even a twinkle in someone's eye back in those days. After doing this I learned just how talented the Scorps are and admired their talent even more. The Scorpions are master musicians and the reviewers are right, this CD doesn't have all the Scorp songs but it's the CD you must have if you love the Scorps. The songs on this CD are the ones the Scorps are known for and I wouldn't trade this CD for anything. They'll have to pry this CD out of my cold dead hands after I die!

Missing Some Songs, But Still A Great Scorps CD!!!.......2004-02-27

This album is missing a couple good songs, like Send Me An Angel, And Loving Sunday Morning. But a good CD nonetheless...
Here's my 2 Cents:

Rock You Like A Hurricane - A Scorps Classic!!! It'll make you wanna' stand up and shout!!! Very electrifying. 5/5

I Can't Explain - Simular to Blackout. Sounds like somthing you'd hear from Judas Priest. 4.75/5

Still Loving You - A slow ballad. Very sullen. MAkes you want to break down and cry. *sniff* 5/5

Big City Nights - It's like Rock You Like A Hurricane pt. 2. They both have that great neon Jaming feeling. 5/5

Lovedrive - Not a weak song... Just sounds like somthing you'd hear from Loverboy *Blaughh* 3.75/5

Holiday - My friend DJ's favorite Scorps song EVER. I love the intro and overall statistics of the song. 5/5

Blackout - An up-and-go-go feeling song! Good chorus. 5/5

Rhythem Of Love - A sweet love ballad. The Scorps make love ballads so NOT sickeningly sweet. There all just so damn powerful!!! 5/5

No One Like You - MY FAVORITE SCORPIONS SONG EVER!!! The chords are very Jamin'. 6/5

You Give Me All I Need - Awsome... Need I say more? 5/5

Hey You - My least favorite on the CD. Still good though. 3.5/5

The Zoo - Great pick for an outro, one of the Scorps best! 5/5

In Conclusion... Get it if you are into Old School, like Judas Priest, Ozzy, Dio, and all that. If your into nu-metal, This may be too old for your tastes. Personally I love it!!!

Too much missing to be taken seriously.......2003-08-05

Tying with Roger Daltrey for the worst album title of all time, it's hard to imagine that this is what the powers that be saw as a Scorpions best of collection. To begin with, the disc leans too heavily on the later years, which admittedly are the bread and butter of the record company, but not at all representative of what a force the Scorps were in the late '70's/early '80's. From where I stand, start with Animal Magnetism and Blackout, then slip in the occasional mid to late '80's cookie cutters. True, there were some decent songs on the late '80's albums, but to get a real taste for the band, much of the early stuff is essential. Average at best, but an okay place for the casual fan to start.

Great 80's Ballad Music.......2006-03-15

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...

One of three great love song collections.......2004-10-05

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.

A great price for all the eighties ballads!.......2002-02-20

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!

Attention all 80's children.......2001-01-27

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.

4 out of 5 ain't bad!!.......2000-08-03

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!!

Interesting.......2007-05-31

For the songs we all know and love, it's a very complete collection. There's a ton of power ballad collections that include most of these songs, but always seem to miss a few! I am glad to see they included Lita Ford, and Great White too. Some of the tracks are not the best produced versions, so sample before you buy. But,it's a good compilation.

OMG.......2007-05-08

This has got to be one of the worst collections ever. Here in one 2-disc set you can get all of the most embarrassing, terrible bands to dare call themselves "metal"...if metal means wearing makeup, women's lingerie, and singing "power ballads"...then ya, this is metal, lol! If you are in your late 30s, female, tease your bangs out 18 inches, drive a white 1984 IROC-Z, and still wear acid-washed jeans you might enjoy this album, otherwise pass on it.

Can't get any better!!!!.......2004-07-21

Iv'e seen these guys live in London and thought, This is a great band that deserves world wide recognition. I listened to T.B around a friends house and thought to myself, this is amazing, ive got to get it. My friend mr paul Rippengal has every CD and pretty much every Thunder DVD going. One way to describe them, A stroke of shire genius from England. If only more bands like this came out of the little island, and for those who think that THE DARKNESS are a real band then thik again because they actually do suck balls. Thanks

Fitting Title..........2007-02-01

Pick up this CD ASAP!!!! The following tracks are worth every penny you will spend getting this CD!
5) Good Love
7) Until you suffer some (fire and ice)
8) Be the one
9) Life Loves a Tragedy
10) Only Time will tell
14) The Last Song
On this CD it features some songs where Richie Kotzen took CC's place, takes a little getting used to the difference but he wasn't a bad addition..still no one plays quite the same as CC!

If you're into that sort of thing............2006-09-13

If you were thinking of maybe picking up Monster Ballads or Buzz Ballads, but somewhere along the line decided you wanted all the best cheese one band could serve up, then Poison's Best of Ballads and Blues is for you. Lets face it, Poison really can write some great ballads, and well, they try really hard for that bluesy sound with varying degrees of success. One nice thing about this CD, as a Greatest Hits compilation, it doesn't skip out any of their major releases. Poisons Greatest Hits 1986 - 1996 shows a greater diversity in the type of music, but it really focuses on the first three studio albums. Best of Ballads and Blues embraces everything they've done, in that style.

While my initial reaction to the album was a painful gut wrenching at the thought of a Greatest Ballad Hits CD, after checking out the solid lineup of tunes they have, there's just no knocking it. This is a perfect CD for that lady that liked the band, but never got into them so much as to buy all their albums. Here, she will get all her favorite Poison tunes in a one stop shop.

Ultimately, the album showcases that Bret Michaels is a much better songwriter than he is given credit for, capable of capturing genuine emotion and feelings and putting those lyrics to some very solid music.

Greatest hits 2 .......2006-04-03

Poison rocks.
This cd should have been the greatest hits 2 with the best tracks from the albums that came out after the first greatest hits : 'Crack a smile', 'Power to the people' and 'Hollyweird' and also the best hits from 'Native tongue' as there was only one song from that album on the first greatest hits. A combination of this album and 'Rock champions'.

Life Loves a Therapy????.......2006-01-01

Other than the grossly mislabeled song on the CD (listen to the CD via Windows Media Player and the title of Life Loves a Tragedy is titled "Life Loves a Therapy") this album is beyond fantastic. You CANNOT go wrong with this CD. Poison is so much more than a rock-n-roll band, and it shows with this CD. Poison can any type of song (blues, ballad, whatever) and do it justice. Not many bands out there can do that.

A Lot Better Than I Thought.......2004-05-13

I thought this would be a lame collection of lame songs. But when I put it in, I was actually very suprised. It is pretty much all their ballads (I love their ballads), and some hard-rocking blues tracks. One track doesn't really fit(Good Love), but it is a powerfully cool song, so I was happy to have it. For a true collection of Poison, get Greatest Hits, but this is also extremely good.
