Review

Best of 80's Metal, Vol. 2 concentrates on late-'80s pop-metal hits like Winger's "Seventeen," Lita Ford's "Kiss Me Deadly," Great White's "Once Bitten, Twice Shy," and Whitesnake's "Here I Go Again," throwing in Night Ranger's "Sister Christian" for good measure. It may be a little brief, but all of the cuts on the collection are first-rate, making this one of the best '80s metal samplers available. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
