Power Ballads!

[humann_brewing]

True, though I'm not sure "Still of the Night" qualifies.

Yes and probably not Children of the night but man the list goes on forever that do:

is this love
here I go again
straight for the heart
looking for love
don't turn away

 

[the_bird]

Does "Sister Christian" qualify?

 

[shecky]

"Hole-Hearted" -- Extreme
"Beth" -- KISS

 

[shecky]

"To Be With You" -- Mr. Big

*I'm suddenly frightened by what resides in the back of my mind*

Didn't Nelson have a few?... like "(Can't Live Without Your) Love and Affection"

Here's a great compilation of power ballads. It includes some of the more obscure ones like Dokken, Warrant, and Winger.

Ewww, Nelson? Those were some nasty chicks.

I thought they were some pretty hot chicks... you know, except for their deep voices, flat chests, and external genitalia.:cross:

Does Aerosmith's "Dream On" count as a ballad?

If not, then I vote for "Angel."

Incidentally, you know that Dude DOES look like a lady now, right? A little old lady, to be specific.

That's Steven Tyler on the left.

That's NOT Steven Tellerico...

It's a joke...:rockin:

 

[Papinquack]

Here's a blast from the past I really like. Saigon Kick- Love Is On The Way.

Well... My wife bought all the "Power Ballad" volumes from Time Life as well as the Metal Ballad volumes during a pregnant ice cream binge in the middle of the night while pregnant for our first child.

A majority of the songs mentioned in the thread are one of those disks....

Along with many '80s no-names. *shudders*
