Compilation Introduction
Soft Metal: It Ain't Heavy is an 18-track compilation released in the 1980s on Urban Records, bringing together a selection of softer, more accessible tracks from the rock and metal world. The compilation showcases the more melodic side of rock music, combining heartfelt ballads, atmospheric arrangements and polished performances, including Kayleigh (Marillion), Here I Go Again (Whitesnake), Ride Like the Wind (Christopher Cross), Don't Stop Believin' (Journey), The Final Countdown (Europe), We Built This City (Starship) and St. Elmo's Fire (Man in Motion) (John Parr).
Tracklist Highlights
- Marillion — Kayleigh — One of the most immediately distinctive and commercially dominant neo-progressive rock recordings of 1985; its combination of a warm, layered production and Fish's completely assured vocal gives it a sustained commercial appeal. UK No. 2 (1985).
- Journey — Don't Stop Believin' — One of the most immediately recognisable and culturally significant rock recordings of the 1980s; its combination of a driving, rock production and Steve Perry's completely assured vocal gives it a sustained commercial appeal that has made it one of the most enduring rock anthems of all time. US No. 9 (1981).
- Europe — The Final Countdown — One of the most immediately recognisable and commercially dominant rock recordings of 1986; its combination of a driving, synth-driven production and Joey Tempest's completely assured vocal gives it a sustained commercial appeal. UK No. 8 (1986).
- Whitesnake — Here I Go Again — One of the most immediately distinctive and commercially effective recordings on the compilation; its combination of a driving, hard rock production and David Coverdale's completely assured vocal gives it a sustained commercial appeal. UK No. 4 (1987).
- John Parr — St. Elmo's Fire (Man in Motion) — One of the most immediately energetic and commercially effective recordings on the compilation; its combination of a driving, pop-rock production and Parr's completely assured vocal gives it a sustained commercial appeal. US No. 1 (1985).
