Eh, for me it is much too over the top and cheesy to be considered "one of the absolute best songs of all time, without question" but that's just me.

I think a lot depends on taste.
This song is good, but no more, so the list of songs that I like more, huge.
If I take any of the artists that I like: Prince, The Beatles, Scorpions, Pink Floyd, Michael Jackson, A-ha, George Michael, Depeche Mode, Queen .... I can name more than 10 songs (each of them) that I like a lot more than "When I Look Into Your Eyes". cool
If you like this song and you think its one of the best, it`s not important, what think the rest. smile

Put on any classic rock or oldies station, and prepare to hear song after song after song that is leaps and bounds better than this.

It's what I imagine Bon Jovi non-single album cuts to sound like. Not bad, but very MOR heart fm sounding.

I want to agree with you but smarmy was the first word that came to mind. I am not a professional music critic.

There came a time when the risk of remaining tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. Anais Nin.

You being a fan of rock like me i must ask, what do you think of Firehouse?

I can not stand them, they are one of the late 80's early 80's hair bands i tried to like but the cheese is to overflowing lol

Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener

All music is shit music and no music is real- gunsnhalen

They are a bit too slick and formulaic for my tastes. Their music is very clean and polished which isn't necessarily what I look for in a rock band. I guess that "Don't Treat Me Bad" is an ok song but they really seemed to specialise in ballads and their uptempo songs were not very memorable. Of course it seemed like every rock band of that era had a hit with a ballad but you usually only had to endure one or two of them and the rest of the album was hard rock. Firehouse always seemed a little too heavy of the sappy ballads.

Firehouse are a bit of an oddity. Stylistically they do kind of fit with the "eighties" bands but they came along a little after the scene had peaked and had started to fade. I do give them credit for having success at a time when that type of music was rapidly falling out of fashion but ultimately I would much rather listen to the Kiss song "Firehouse" than the band Firehouse.
