I mentioned Steelheart down below. My kids love it

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

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

Absolutely. There's enough room for Firehouse.

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

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

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

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

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

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