Cinderella-Heartbreak Station

Rolling Stone said that Cinderella was the last of the great hair-bands and indeed they were. Less than 2 yrs after this album was released, Nirvana would unleash Nevermind and of course the music world would never be the same. My friends always said that Nirvana/Pearl Jam/Stone Temple Pilots, etc, were "our bands" b/c they changed the world while we were teenagers. But I gotta tell ya, they were never my bands. While everyone else was doing the "grunge," I was rocking to the old classic ballads like this one. I don't know if it's the song in itself that makes me sad or if I'm saddened by the fact that this was one of the last of the great rock-ballads. Either way, I have to think that bands like Cinderella saw the impending Seattle storm that would soon sweep away music as we had known it. Thus, when Tom Keifer says... 'she took the last train out of my heart'... I can't help but think that "she" is the LADY of ROCK!!! Save this song to your hard drives, boys and girls, b/c you will NEVER hear sounds like this again!
