Monster Ballads(Various Artists-Rock - MP3){CTShoN}[CTRC]

Razor & Tie's Monster Ballads
provides a near-definitive portrait of the golden age of the power
ballad, the late '80s/early '90s (henceforth known as the Bush era).
Sure, a few of the 16 songs were recorded prior to the Bush era
(such as Mike Reno and Anne Wilson's genre-defining "Almost
Paradise" or Europe's "Carrie"), and there are a few noticeable
omissions (no Bon Jovi or Slaughter, "Something to Believe In"
instead of the classic "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" from Poison), but
it's hard to argue with almost everything here. Nearly every classic
power ballad is here -- "Heaven," "High Enough," "Is This Love," "To
Be With You," "Don't Know What You Got Til It's Gone," "More Than
Words," "Headed for a Heartbreak," "When I See You Smile," "When I'm
With You," and the Scorpions' end of the Cold War epic "Winds of
Change" -- and those that don't quite make "classic" status are
usually listenable (with the notable exception of Steelheart's "I'll
Never Let You Go [Angel Eyes]). Ultimately, the missing tracks and
the mediocre cuts don't drag down the disc, since the core of this
collection consists of the best power ballads known to man. What
exactly that means is subject to interpretation.
