Monsters of Rock
Date undefinedBack in the late 90's they promoted this album ALL THE TIME while I was watching WWE wrestling (called WWF back then). It eventually got to the point where I simply HAD to buy the thing to see what the big deal was.
Unfortunately, while it was really appealing to me at first, it really began to lose its charm as the years past, as I began to find out the hit songs weren't the ONLY things these bands should be remembered for. In fact, these songs seriously aren't as good as many of the songs you'd find on any one of the Ratt, Quiet Riot, or Poison albums. Why should we remember *just* the hits? We shouldn't.
Furthermore, artists like Alice Cooper and Judas Priest shouldn't be on here in the first place, because they're mostly early to mid 70's rock artists, and this collection of tracks should mainly focus on the 80's, and NO other decade because the two decades are entirely different from each other. It doesn't matter to me if these songs are not from the 70's- Alice Cooper and Judas Priest are artists from the 70's, and that's the point.
I think they could have found a better selection of songs to stick on here. "Round and Round" is NOT the best Ratt song, and "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" is not the best Poison song either. Not only are these NOT the best songs, but they also don't quality as the heaviest songs from either band either. The same applies to Great White and Whitesnake (though no one can deny "Here I Go Again" is a fantastic song- even people who normally hate heavy metal agree it's a great song).
"Hold on Loosely" is a pretty bad song though. .38 Special is MUCH better than that. "We're Not Gonna Take It" kind of stinks as well. I have a greatest hits disc from Twisted Sister that has a lot of better songs, such as "I Am, I'm Me" and "I Wanna Rock".
Luckily it DOES have some great songs such as "Cult of Personality", "Nobody's Fool", and "Sister Christian". It's just not a flawless collection. It's just an attempt to remember the 80's and act like the hits are the only songs worth remembering because of all the singles released in the decade. There's plenty of album bands from the 80's. Don't forget that.

Date undefinedWhat a collection of songs on here. Check out "Poison" by Alice Cooper and "You've Got Another Thing Comin'" by Judas Priest. More good ones are "Round and Round" by Ratt, "Cum on Feel the Noize" by Quiet Riot, "The Final Countdown" by Europe, and "Nobody's Fool" by Cinderella. This is a great collection of some really big rock hits.

Date undefinedThis is a great CD for 80s Rock lovers. All your favorites are on it! I give it 4 start because there was 2 songs on here I did not care for. Aside from that it a nice collection.
