Soft Rock Anthems
Soft Rock Anthems collects all your favourite FM radio-friendly rock anthems from the wind-machine-blown, bemulleted chart gods of the 1980s. This 2-disc set includes power-pop stormers like the recently defiled “Valerie” by Steve Winwood, the classic “Out of Touch” by Hall & Oates, the vocoder-luvvin’ “Mr Blue Sky” by ELO, and the rousing “Africa” by Toto. Survivor even get a look in. “Eye of the Tiger”, Baby! –Paul Eisinger
Customer Review: fine selection of soft rock songs
really wanted to give this selection five stars, ok there are some tracks from personal preference that i just don’t like, but as a whole there are easily more tracks i do like. i must confess it is easy to start singing along and embarrass yourself. so certainly i would recommend you buy this.
just one tiny problem, the version of Valerie is not very good at all.
when i dug out my chronicle’s cd by Steve winwood to check it wasn’t just me, it sadly confirmed that the version on rock anthems was an inferior one. As ‘Valerie’ is one of my favourites, that was a bit of a disappointment. Apart from that there are far to many good tracks here for anyone not to want to have it as part of their collection
