The Best of White Lion
is a strong collection gathering pretty much all of the band's best singles and album tracks, including the Top Ten hits
"Wait"
and
"When the Children Cry,"
plus lesser hits like
"Little Fighter"
"Radar Love."
Fairly underrated during their heyday,
White Lion
doesn't spend nearly as much time on macho, streetwise posturing as many of their contemporaries, and
Vito Bratta
is quite a convincing
Eddie Van Halen
imitator, making
necessary for any fan of '80s
hair metal
