Compilation Introduction
Pure Soft Metal is an 18-track compilation that brings together some of the biggest names in melodic rock, hard rock and soft metal from the 1980s and early 1990s. The compilation spans the full range of the genre — from the polished pop-rock of Queen (A Kind of Magic) and Spandau Ballet (True, UK No. 1, 1983) to the power ballads of Poison (Every Rose Has Its Thorn, US No. 1, 1988) and REO Speedwagon (Can't Fight This Feeling, US No. 1, 1985), and from the driving rock of Bryan Adams (Summer of '69) and WASP (Forever Free) to the atmospheric synth-rock of Berlin (Take My Breath Away, US No. 1, 1986, from Top Gun) and T'Pau (China in Your Hand, UK No. 1, 1987). The 18-track compilation gives a comprehensive survey of the melodic rock and soft metal sound that defined the golden era of arena rock.
