Customer Reviews

A Solid Compilation Of Big Names And Long Forgottens
Granted, 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 White Lion, but they all put out some excellent songs. Other bands featured include Tora Tora, Winger, White Lion, Enuff Z'Nuff, L.A. Guns, Extreme, Mr. Big and Britney Fox.

Standout tunes include Lita Ford's "Kiss Me Deadly," Queensryche's "Eyes Of A Stranger," Yngwie J. Malmsteen's Rising Force's "Heaven Tonight" and "Smooth Up In Ya" from the Bulletboys. Another wonderful tune on this album is "Turn Up The Radio" from Autograph.

From Dokken to Warrant, 80's Metal features some excellent tunes for the resident hair band rocker. I highly recommend it to anybody who enjoyed any of the bands I've listed. You will not be let down.

Mixed bag of metal
Some very good with some not so good metal. I think the Rhino "Youth Gone Wild" series is better.

80's Metal Gold ,one dudes view.
As far as record compilations go, this is a pretty nice selection of tunes. While I might lament the absence of some artist, or more more obscure songs than are on this disc, this collection is way better than other 80's hair band collections.
