I have been on real eighties cheesy music kick lately and after recently buying a boxset of pop hits I had to move on to some power ballads. `The Power of Love' despite the terrible name seemed to have the best mix of songs, on three discs and at a reasonable price. Of course you get `Total Eclipse of the Heart' (Bonnie Tyler) and `I Want to Know What Love is' (Foreigner), plus songs by Boston, Journey, Mr Mister, Survivor, Europe, BOC and all of those other excellent staples of power rock, but you also get some more modern stuff from the likes of Anastacia and although I'm not too keen on the more modern stuff here, at least it ensures the selection is varied. This is great to put on in the car and, like the pop collection I bought, you can't help but sing along with full gusto and with a sloppy grin plastered all over your face. There will always be some songs you are not keen on on any compilation disc set like this, depending on your personal taste, but for a good collection of power ballads over the past few decades then this is the place to go and makes for a great 3 disc album. Good value for money and cheesy in that good way!
