Comments:
Overall a good hard rock selection from the 80's. Jungle Boy was the
track that I didn't remember until I heard it, and actually is one of those
songs I've always wanted. The choice and positioning of material also makes
this a great disk to leave on and not have to worry about. I would have
opted to leave the Ted Nugent song off the disk, as it isn't one of his
best songs (his work with the Damn Yankee's is much better.) The overall
sound quality is also good.
