The second volume in the '80s retrospective Rock the First focuses primarily around hard rock hits of the era, including a pair from Bon Jovi ("You Give Love a Bad Name" and "Blaze of Glory") in addition to smashes from Billy Squier ("The Stroke") and Great White ("Once Bitten, Twice Shy"); bringing up the more pop-oriented end of the bargain are Duran Duran ("Hungry Like the Wolf") and Steve Winwood ("Roll with It"). ~ Chuck Donkers, All Music Guide
