Description
A generously stacked rock ballads compilation that draws from across the rock and pop landscape, this CD brings together some of the most emotionally resonant singles of the 1970s, 80s, and 90s. Highlights include Dire Straits’ fingerpicked masterpiece ‘Romeo and Juliet’, the sweeping grandeur of Queen’s ‘A Kind Of Magic’, and Crowded House’s achingly tender ‘Don’t Dream It’s Over’. The selection balances arena-ready anthems — Chris Rea’s brooding ‘Road To Hell (Part 2)’, Belinda Carlisle’s euphoric ‘Heaven Is A Place On Earth’ — with more intimate moments from artists like Deacon Blue and The Pretenders. An ideal introduction to the genre and a satisfying survey for seasoned listeners alike…
