Sweet Dreams: The Encore Collection

Performer: Air Supply
Distributor: BMG Special Products

Notes: If the compilers had managed to include "Makin' Love out of Nothing at All," BMG Special Products' Sweet Dreams: The Encore Collection may have been the ultimate Air Supply compilation. Boiled down to a mere ten songs, the notorious soft rock balladeers sound pretty good, despite the fact that more than half of their recorded output has the word "love" in the title. However, the glaring omission of one of their most beloved hits renders the album weak. For the time being, Arista's far superior Ultimate Air Supply remains the most comprehensive collection to date. ~ James Christopher Monger

Australian MOR/soft-pop group Air Supply started recording in the mid-'70s, but it was their first US album, 1980's LOST IN LOVE, that brought them a flurry of hits ("Lost in Love," "Every Woman in the World," "All out of Love") and international acclaim. The heart of the band is singer/songwriters Russell Hitchcock and Graham Russell, whose gentle voices and delicately constructed pop songcraft meshed perfectly with the albums' lush production to make Air Supply one of the best-selling acts of their era. Though Air Supply's soft sound fell out of favor by the time the '90s rolled around, Russell and Hitchcock continued working together with a shifting lineup of accompanists.
