Full title is: Ultimate Rock Ballads Collection [Time Life]
The '70s, '80s and '90s could each make a claim to the all-time best rock ballad-but rather than arbitrate, let's just let the singers and guitars scream! Here are 9 CDs of hits that showed that even rockers have a soft side: Can't Fight This Feeling REO Speedwagon; Heaven Warrant; Waiting for a Girl Like You Foreigner; Amanda Boston; Silent Lucidity Queensryche; Oh Sherrie Steve Perry; Love Hurts Nazareth; Lady Styx; Beth Kiss; Love Song Tesla; Is This Love Whitesnake; Every Rose Has Its Thorn Poison, plus everyone from Skynyrd and the Doobies to Phil Collins, Alice Cooper, Steve Miller and Billy Idol. 153 tracks! |
