Batman Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 I don't think I've ever heard a good power ballad, hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLizard Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 "November Rain"- Guns N' Roses "Don't Wanna Miss A Thing"- Aerosmith Those are the only two power ballads I can think of that I actually like. The other Aerosmith ballads are ok, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batman Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 would "Come Pick Me Up" by Ryan Adams qualify? I realize it's a country song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skier43 Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 I'd say "Alone" by Heart. Killer vocal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heard It On The XM Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Many of my nominees have already been mentioned, but I would add "Burning Heart" by Vandenberg, in my book the most underrated power ballad of the '80s (and not to be confused with Survivor's song from Rocky IV).

Duality2 Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 (edited) "Home Sweet Home" by Motley Crue is one of my faves... I love the piano, its takes the generic "power ballad" feel out of it for me.... Edited January 20, 2008 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viaene Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 I'd rather pick "Everything I do, I do it for you" from Bryan Adams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLizard Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 I'd rather avoid listening to Bryan Adams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenacious_Peaches Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 This was my absolute favorite power ballad back in the day. Imagine if you will, a younger yet more cynical Peaches, one hand clutched to her bosom, one hand clutched to a bottle of cheap liquor, singing this at the top of her lungs and cursing to the heavens that love had ripped her heart out and stomped it to unrecognizable oblivion. Oh, the drama of youth. Love Can Make You Blind - Every Mother's Nightmare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viaene Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 I can imagine, somehow Lizard, that solution I use everyday did you know that the listeners of the most popular radio station here put summer of '69 on top of the top 2000 of all time?
