Very Best Of Power Ballads, The - Various Artists

...is a little deceiving "The Very Best of Power Ballads - The Greatest Driving Anthems ever". Now in my opinion that contradicts itself a little and I think there is a difference between Power Ballads and Driving Anthems. In my opinion a Power Ballad - as it says in the little is a ballad - quite simple and a driving anthem can actually be anything that basically gets you going when you are in the car, so if you are anything like me this can cover ...
...title of the CD should be along the lines of 80's classic as more or less around 90% of the songs on this 3 CD album are from the 80's with the odd one or two driving anthems/power ballads from the later era.

Review of Very Best Of Power Ballads, The - Various Artists

A great set full of old favorites that you just love to sing along to doing the housework or in the car.

It includes classics and some modern stuff but all great songs. I love the way they have chosen a variety of different songs and put them together to make a truely ...
