Great Mix.......2006-09-09

If you like 80's metal then this is worth having. These 10 tracks are some of the best. There are no fillers. This is the first of three volumes, but I think this is the best one of the three. Unlike the other two volumes in this series, this one contains ZERO metal ballads. Here are the tracks:

Bang Your Head (Metal Health) - Quiet Riot: That's what this is all about.

We're Not Gonna Take It - Twisted Sister: Of course we're not; this was the anthem of a generation

Nothin' But A Good Time - Poison: That's what the 80's were all about.

Round And Round - Ratt: This group's best-known hit and it's worth having on here.

Big City Nights - Scorpions: When you think of the 80' you have to include a song by these guys.

Shake Me - Cinderella: I think this is their best "non-ballad" hit.

Give Me All Your Love - Whitesnake: This is what we all say to the one we love. Preach it Coverdale!

Big Talk - Warrant: A classic tough-guy anthem from the band tough enough to also bring us Cherry Pie. Ha!

Hold On To 18 - Black 'N Blue: Hearing this is a reminder of our youth (or at least mine)

Ballroom Blitz - Krokus: They covered this song and made it better.

Magnificent Metal Collection!!!.......2005-10-12

This is by far the best single CD of '80s Heavy Metal EVER released! It not only features the best bands of the '80s, it also features their best songs. All of the top bands are here (Ratt, Poison, Quiet Riot, Scorpions) and these songs are the best they had to offer. The only changes I would have made are instead of featuring Whitesnake's Give Me All Your Love I would have included Still Of The Night. I love the fact that Big City Nights is on this instead of Rock You Like A Hurricane because Big City is a great, underrated tune. The only negative comment I can make is this collection should have at least a couple of power ballads (maybe Heavan by Warrant or Poison's Every Rose Has Its Thorn) because power ballads were a big part of the reason why '80s metal bands were so popular and successful. Also it is great that Black 'N Blue's Hold On To 18 is here because it is a great song, and they were a very underrated and talenetd band. Overall a fantastic collection and a wonderful introduction to anyone who would like to find out more about '80s Heavy Metal. Get This!!!!

How can you go wrong with Quiet Riot and Twisted Sister.......1999-03-25

This is a very good compalation album. I would recommend this album to anyone who is sick of the crappy music of 1999.

The music takes you away!.......1999-01-26

This compilation shows the easy going, party animal side of the 80's metal bands. If you are in the mood to do your own thing, this CD will help you relax and feel like having some fun.
