  • this music bring back great memories

  • THEY ARE POWER BALLADS! of course they wouldnt have metallica or led zepplin on there you idiots.

  • Oh dear god. I saw this video when I was ten after discovering the mind-blowing sensation of Led Zeppelin. I didn't think any of the music in the ad was anything CLOSE to rock.

    I still don't.

  • anyone else here to make an Itunes wishlist?

  • They sure don't make music like they use too. Now this is music. Today's music is nothing but garbage. I sure do wish they would bring this kind of music back in style. This kind of music I would defintly crank up the stereo. I was born in 1982 so I'm glad I got to grow up enjoying this kind of music.

  • @Mhebner23

    Dude,what?

    There is good music today,like Nightwish(Tarja era) Zakk Wylde,Avenged Sevenfold and such.

  • @axelfox980 Yeah those bands are good.

  • what is the name of the first song right at the begging of this fantastic video, please answer if someone knows, thank you :D

  • @pjubert That would be "Sister Christian" by Night Ranger.

  • am i the only one who loves this commercial? it comes on almost everynight after saturday night live, while i love snl, ive started to look forward to this more, and if its not this commercial, its another great time life one. i love it so much!

    it might be because im always stoned out of my mind when it comes on

  • Most ot the stuff in the commercial is corporate rock,I notice they don't have Metallica,or other metal bands from the 80's

  • @axelfox980 thats coz metal sucks.....theres no melody.

  • @AndreLeCoz

    Dude,you best be joking.

    You ever heard of Iron Man by Black Sabbath? That is Heavy Metal.

    I hate the song today.

  • i may be 13 but i hav always loved 80s music and i wud watch this ad everyday and i still dnt get bored. i wud choose Journey, REO Speedwagon, and Survivor over justin bieber, katy perry, and nikki minaj any day!

  • im 14 and i love all of this

  • @gunner I AGREE WITH YOU!

  • "well Kevin, I have to admit. I've been singing along to these songs all my life" "Really Amy, well then that qualifies you to suck my knob"

  • Im 20 And I think I was born in the 70s

  • When the young kids who are like 14 and 15 coming on here saying this is good music, then you know this is music that is of legend.. but not only is the music great, it's what we are.. this music is us and what our world is all about.

  • me and my mom always watch this when it comes on tv, i want this sooo bad!

  • I used to watch the ad all the time. This isn't the version that I watched though. Sad face.

  • fuck off justin bieber rules!

  • music now is motherfucker,damn and asshole!

  • Where is the Meatloaf video from?

  • " Hi I'm Kevin Cronin of REO Speedwagon. At my age, I should be gardening in the backyard, or perusing Reader's Digest, but I've been coked up, wearing leather pants with REO for over thirty years now! "... LOL!

  • @LateNightCable and even tho im well in my 50s i still think girls dig my style by me leaving some buttons undone and wearing leather pants and this is the only gig i can get since my band havent talked to me in over 20 years and i need to pay my cell phone bill

  • ughhhh wish i was could know how the 80's were >=[

  • To Pianomanyebba

    You're absofuckinglutely right

  • Rule is : RAP IS CRAP - BIEBER IS CURSED!!!

  • This music > modern day rap crap.

  • I've seen this soooo many times on tv, i know it by heart.

  • some of these songs are played at my job! I've heard Journeys "dont stop believing" a million times now and still love it.

  • Is it normal to feel nostalgia when listening to all these songs?..Even though I'm 18?

  • wow ~ age is the ultimate bandit ~

  • I used to listen to this in 2006, and melt into my surroundings

  • Comment removed

  • @50footflame whoops i meant Night Ranger

  • i can sit and watch time life infomercials all day

  • awesome, i watch this infomercial almost every night haha, never gets old.

  • how the heck is rosanna a ballad? that song were more rock then a slow song, toto's best two ballads by far are i won't hold you back and i'll be over you

  • lol this is the ultimate commercial when you do dishes lol!!!!! I look for this commercial when I do dishes!

  • i love watching rock ballads and all the other ballads thye have im going to buy them all, the music of today isnt about nothing, they shouldnt waist their time makeing it a ballad 20 or 30 years from now,most people ym age love the teen music of today but i hate it its lame and its for lame loser teens who think their cool and just as dum and lame as the person who make the new music,if you disagree with me dont repsond to me i dont care to hear what u have 2 say,ur as lame as the others.

  • I have this Collection and I Love it!

  • ohhh it hurts..no bon jovi?????they ruled the 80's rock era..Livin on a prayer..national anthem of 80s..wheres other band such as earosmith,def leppard,skidrow i remember you,guns n roses also have a power ballad and a lot more who change the history of rock..BON JOVI FOREVER>>>

  • @bon193jovi they can't show every song on the collection though

  • I remeber seeing this as a late night infomercial, now i can get some of the songs that are mentioned on here

  • i love this music sooo much and im only 15 ^-^ ahah it cause my mom showed me to this music buts it amazing<3

  • the time is over

  • at 3:00 does anybody know the show quarterflash are performing on.

  • @tpbbubbles21 it was american bandstand

  • @tpbbubbles21 the show is American Bandstand

  • I don't know why, but I love some commercials, and I especially loved Timelife commercials while they were still on in my country. Gosh it gave me some good times and introduced me to great music - and to my passion for the 80's too!

  • I wanted this collection but it was like almost $200.00 at the time. Now I don't think I can order it anymore. The best music ever was the 80's music. Great guitar riffs and singing where people had melody and great voices. Todays music sucks ass. The 80's RULE FOREVER!!!!

  • aa3gunner- im 16 an di agree with you. but i was exposed through a video game. RESPECT THE CLASSIX!!!

  • muita saudade  valeu*****

  • Surpisinly they forgot bands like Metallica on the album.

  • @Axelwolf98 Metallica is shit compared to these artists

  • I'm not talking about Rap, cause it totally creepy, but Rock nowadays is more worsened that it should be. 70,80,90 band were truly talented

  • OMG! Mr. Mister on 3:50! Ooo Oooooooooooo!

  • I Love REO!!

  • The interaction between these two is painful

  • Today's music has lost the sincerity and emotion of the 70s and 80s. im only 19 but I love this music because my parents exposed me to them. This sort of music will always be remembered. Unlike today's crap.

  • @aa3gunner im the same age and i agree with you

  • @aa3gunner yea I am 17 and I totally agree with you my dad exposed me to these kind of music and I love it so much it is so much better than the music they make today.... love the music

  • @aa3gunner dude i am the exact same 19

    i flick on the radio in the car and i struggle to find a station that isnt crap

    i finally find one and the next song is rubbish i wish this music was still alive in todays society

  • @aa3gunner That's because of the way we digest music these days. Back then artists would spend quality years and so much time making 1 album. Now days the second an artitst puts music out it's all over the internet and people can get it for free by dowloading it off the internet, so that puts artists in a bad spot because they are not making half the money they used to and they only spend months making an album in someones' bedroom for a thousand dollars and probably make no profit. Sucks.

  • @aa3gunner i agree, im only 18, but this is the music i grew up listening to because of my mom, she didnt listen to ALL of this, some i just discovered on my own. dont get me wrong i like some more modern music too, but i just get an amazing feeling listening to this!!

  • @lindyatl I listen to modern music too but never to mainstream music. I prefer works from Staind, Seether, Shinedown, etc. etc. with stuff from old school Green Day and other 90's punk, rock, and grunge. But the rock/ballads of the 70's and 80's are really special.

  • @aa3gunner The reason why today's music has lost its sincerity and emotion is becuase you are a dumb ass, The only 2 bands that really matter from this era are AC/DC and the Rolling Stones, they play rock and roll simple, loud , and hard and if you don't like I'll knock you out. The rest are crap bands that should have died when the mid eighties came around. These bands are really equievelant to a Kanye West of Keisha.

  • @jason2009contreras tell that to the 80 people who thumbs me up.

  • @aa3gunner I will put The Rolling Stones song brown sugar and AC/DC's Up to my neck in you and these songs will punch out any ALBUM that REO, Styx, Survivor, or Foreigner made.

  • I downloaded this from a torrent for free yeah right as if i'll buy it XDDD

    its probably the best 1 from timelife tbh..

  • is it weird that I love watching these commercials lol

  • great songs there.. check out my best rock ballads ever collection, 8 parts

  • I wonder if we'll ever have a decade like the 80's again. I love all the sweetness from it. All the awesome synth and stuff.

  • Unfortunatly, we probaly will not. It's sad to say but today the only true rock bands we have are the ones that were around by the 80s and are still around. With the exception of Tenacious D of course.

  • @Trontasia The 80's had some good stuff, but the glam rock, which was this entire commericial, SUCKED! lol..And, I'm on here to find the commercial to make a joke. There is some good stuff in here, but most of it is all the glam rock, which was terrible..Where is Frank Zappa on here? Oh, that's right, he's not glam..

  • @Jonathanowns i got the collection. Zappa's on there

  • @Trontasia screw a decade... how bout a lifetime like the 70's/ 80's

  • Obviously these collections aren't as worth it now since you could download all of these (they're all pretty common) but I still love watching these commercials.

    These are all awesome songs, although I didn't hear some until the 90s (i'm 28) they remind me of being a kid.

    I like how they're not literal with everything being ballads either, alot of these are medium or upbeat rock songs.

  • ROCKIN' WITH REO! hahaha.

  • I love Mr. Mister!

  • What's the name of the first song????'

  • sister christian

  • haha the same question i ask a year ago :D

  • wow dude, how old are you? these are classics

  • Ok, I love Alternative rock more than anything , but there are some great song on this collection.

  • So you thank god for bringin' in bands, who sing about killing themselves and how bad life is instead of having cool bands, who sing about fun thing in live.

Iloved it so much, it had this couple embracing in it, it had a lot of the same songs as this one. would greatly appreciate it if someone had it. i know it sounds sad but it brings back fond memories of my childhood.

  • 9 out of 10 of these songs suck. But I was able to find a couple of forgotten gems!

  • No Song sucks is just your opinion. It does not matter to anyone but you.

  • kevin is the biggest legend ever created!

  • Every music genre except screamo, country, and boy band pop is excellent.

  • This was when talent still meant something. I don't like country that much, but I won't knock it either.

  • i love this commercial!!! all my friends think im crazy but i just love it sooooo much!!!!!!!!!!!!! i dont care if im a crazy commercial lady.

  • Europe is the best

  • I LOVE those commercials. it sucks that I can't see them anymore because the chanel it was on is off now

  • I was born on 82, I didn't listen these type of songs til 20 years later. These was the best decade for power ballads. Nothing like the 80's!!!

  • Dude, I was born in 1991! For me, songs which were released either before I was born or when I was too young to remember are like a time machine. So in other words, you have 9 years over me--you were a young child during the last six years of the 80s, so b thankful, b proud!

  • that goes for me to, but im born in 1992, i got my music taste from my parents, and i grew up with this music, my favorite time of music is the 80s, then the 70s;)

  • LOL I have playboys from the 80's 90's and now... Its like masturbating in a time machine...JK STEP BROTHERS

  • whats the first song playing? motoring?
