Such a shame. 90s were gosh awful

I won't listen to music by choice made by anyone who wasn't making music before

Love I Remember You but my favorite in this category is probably

That’s a swing and a miss. Not a power ballad.

RalphWiggam

Definition of power ballad

5/8/21 5:28pm

Yeah. Sorry I’m a jerk. It counts. Disregard my previous message.

RalphWiggam

I still agree with your original post. For me, a power ballad has to be by a

The hair band era was absolutely the golden age. But I think it existed prior...

EtTuKalante

5/8/21 6:20pm

True and the hair bands were really just an extension of the 70s rock god

Jay Rick

5/8/21 7:21pm

Sticking with Brian Adams, I'll offer Summer of '69

Another one of my all-time faves. Good choice.

Division Bell

An elder was playing that song on the piano during some down time in his last

kansascougar

I love playing I Remember You on the guitar.

About a year ago, I heard a recording of Lane"s daughter singing that.

I was waiting for this one to show up... one of the best voices out there.

Division Bell

“When I see you smile.”

OmahaThunderCoug

5/8/21 5:41pm

I mentioned Steelheart down below. My kids love it

Belboz

Love Bites. Def Leppard

Tonto

If you like Def Leppard, you might like Grand Design

Division Bell

Sister Christian

SierraCoug

That was actually written about his little sister. Love this song! Here's the link.

Division Bell

Oh, and Bon Jovi’s: “Always” and “Bed of Roses”

Slaughter-Fly to the Angels

Tonto

5/8/21 5:39pm

I listen to mostly Hair Nation xm 39. My kids love the songs with sudden screams

Belboz

5/8/21 6:04pm

I saw Slaughter in concert many many years ago.

Jeffacka

5/8/21 7:53pm

My first concert was Poison, Slaughter, and the Bullet Boys. So good.

Jay Rick

5/8/21 8:14pm

Fitting in well, my second concert was Journey and Brian Adams. Both scored...

EtTuKalante

This is actually the second song I thought of when I read the OP. After Home

Turn of the decade 1990 “Firehouse-Love of a lifetime”. Does it still qualify? (Video linked)

kalifi

5/8/21 5:41pm

Absolutely. There's enough room for Firehouse.

Division Bell

5/8/21 5:45pm

If 1990 counts then Extreme - More Than Words gets in too

HuskerFan2

5/8/21 6:08pm

I'm sure there are a few in here already from 90 and 91

Belboz

5/8/21 6:14pm

Good call. I say these count because of the genre “power ballads”

kalifi

5/8/21 6:39pm

You guys have excellent taste. But any list of power ballads that excludes...

EtTuKalante

5/8/21 5:42pm

More than a Feeling is a rock song, but I'd put Amanda in as a Power Ballad

braddahmike

5/8/21 5:49pm

It made this list of top 20 power ballads... But I'll be honest, the criteria...

EtTuKalante

5/8/21 6:18pm

Absolutely correct. Of course, I'll admit I hate Styx. I tried.

Belboz

5/8/21 6:13pm

If you pretend Mr Roboto and everything after doesn't exist, they're okay.

EtTuKalante

5/8/21 7:31pm

Love of a lifetime.

OmahaThunderCoug

5/8/21 5:42pm

I beat you by a minute.

kalifi

5/8/21 5:52pm

Dang. Hard to remember some of these without listening to them.

OmahaThunderCoug

“Can you take me high...enough, can you fly me over...yesterday...”

OmahaThunderCoug

5/8/21 5:46pm

Can’t forget the Scorpions.

OmahaThunderCoug

5/8/21 5:48pm

Not so well known but my favorite The Cult Edie Ciao Baby..

kotacoug

5/8/21 5:58pm

Wow. I have not heard that song in a long time.

HuskerFan2

5/8/21 7:12pm

The Cult might be the most under rated band of the 80s

kotacoug

5/8/21 7:20pm

I'm a huge Cult fan. Totally underrated

Peter Venkman

5/8/21 7:37pm

I’ve been a fan since their Love album. They always had a chip on their shoulder

kotacoug

5/8/21 7:45pm

I like Skid Row, but I change to Ozzy's Boneyard when a Tesla song begins.

Belboz

5/8/21 6:07pm

Air Supply gets some hate but those dudes crush it on this one

hansel

5/8/21 6:07pm

Ummm. No.

Belboz

Agreed.

Better Alice Cooper power ballad:

SpiffCoug

5/8/21 7:16pm

Not better.

Jeffacka

5/8/21 7:36pm

Poison is their best song. Power ballidish

Backcountry

5/8/21 7:48pm

Trash is their best album

SpiffCoug

5/8/21 7:49pm

How You Gonna See Me Now is even better.

Jeffacka

5/8/21 7:50pm

Steel Panther, jk. Dont look up steel panther.

Backcountry

I mentioned Alice Cooper's Quiet Room, but this may be my favorite.
