Rock Ballads: The Collection (2014)

Rhino's Rock Ballads: The Collection mostly lives up to its promise of cigarette lighter-melting stadium jams, and is probably the only box set where you can find Radiohead, Bread, Kate Bush, and Nickelback in the same green room. Densely populated with as many head scratchers (Fine Young Cannibals' significantly upbeat "She Drives Me Crazy" and Skid Row's teen-rage brooder "18 and Life") as well as genuine arm-waving anthems (Foreigner's "I Want to Know What Love Is" and the lush, Benjamin Orr-led Cars classic "Drive")
