Scorpions - Best Of Rockers 'N' Ballads (1989) CD-Rip

Even though it's the official greatest-hits compilation of the Scorpions' '80s releases, The Best of Rockers 'n' Ballads is actually missing some of their best rockers and ballads. While it contains such hits as "Rock You Like a Hurricane," "Blackout," and "The Zoo," the 12 songs listed simply don't give the listener a complete impression of what the Scorpions are all about. In fact, some of the band's best songs, such as "Dynamite" and "Another Piece of Meat," were never hits in the first place and are therefore absent. It certainly makes a fine sampler, but those looking for a near-definitive best-of are advised to purchase the double-disc set Deadly Sting: The Mercury Years.
