Loverboy Classics: Their Greatest Hits

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Usurping the Big Ones hits package, the self-depreciating, proud, and humorous liner notes by bassist Scott Smith boost this definitive compilation. Time won't have wiped the kneejerk sneer from the mouths of critics--dismissed long ago as "eunuchs in a whorehouse" by manager Lou Blair--but a new generation of listeners will approve. --Jeff Bateman

Tracks:

Turn Me Loose
Working For The Weekend
Take Me To The Top
The Kid Is Hot Tonite
This Could Be The Night
Jump
Lovin' Every Minute Of It
Notorious
Almost Paradise
Lucky Ones
Destination Heartbreak
Hot Girls In Love
When It's Over
It's Your Life
Gangs In The Street
Heaven In Your Eyes

Should be more songs.......2007-01-03

I am dissappointed that Bullet In The Chamber isn't on this but all in all it's classic Loverboy. If you like Loverboy you will love this cd.

A Great Overview of a Band that Bridged Arena Rock and Hair Metal.......2006-11-23

Think about it. Loverboy is a band that doesn't exactly fit the stale arena rock mold because of their sheer propensity for fun. But then again, their quasi-proggy keyboards don't exactly translate into the hairspray crowd's standard repetoire. As such, I think purchasing this compilation can not only lead to the acquisition of one heck of a party album, but it can also serve as an anthropological study.

Ugh, that sounds pretentious, but it's worth pondering.

Anyhoo, the tracks here are all, for the most part, superb pieces of 80s pop rock. "Working for the Weekend" and "Turn Me Loose" are the obvious highlights, but the collection is laden with highlights. In fact, every song is a 4 to 5 star track in its own right. Well, except for the ponderous "Lovin' Every Minute of It." That one's just dull. Everything else is a blast, though. The best thing is that the songs are peppered with a most amusing kind of synth workouts that just accentuate the goodness of the material. Fantastic.

Overall, fans of music from Kansas to Poison will enjoy this. This is upbeat music to celebrate the good times in a rockin' manner, but it's also got a pseudo-intelligent gloss over it. Great stuff, and a definite value. Buy it today!

Good But Carefull .......2005-09-16

Including Mike's weak duet with Ann Wilson of Heart ( by far a stronger vocilist then you Mike...so let her shine ...next time ) can't be right...

Were the heck is Strike Zone....one of their best songs on their last origianal run albums..Still very good...but definitly misses in some key areas!

Brings back lots of memories.......2005-03-03

I've always liked Loverboy, they had some very great songs. This disc, though maybe not as extensive as it could be, is good enough, in my opinion. It contains the songs I like and it brings back a lot of great memories. If you're a Loverboy fan and you want more songs, you'll have to get at least one more CD, of theirs, to give you all you want. As for me, I'm content with this compilation. Recommended for the 80's rock fan.

great buy.......2005-01-21

If you like Loverboy, this is the album you want. Unlike a lot of greatest hits albums out there, it actually includes most of their biggest hits. With the exception of Queen of the Broken Hearts - which I didn't remember, so I obviously wasn't missing that one. But there are a few favorites on here that I'd forgotten about and that was a nice surprise.

I was going to buy my old favorite album (Get Lucky) but this one includes all the music I need. A definite must buy for any fan.
