I dunno, I'd have to think about it, but off the top of my head:

Rocket Queen, if you could consider that a "ballad".

3/18/2008 3:33:50 PM

that is definitely NOT a ballad

After further consideration, Boston - More Than A Feeling.

3/18/2008 5:18:59 PM

well...it's a good song...

but definitely not the greatest power ballad of all time

3/18/2008 5:34:04 PM

hows it going living proof

3/18/2008 5:35:03 PM

just peachy...


how you doin

3/18/2008 5:36:01 PM

you done lost your mind

3/18/2008 5:37:22 PM

i'm getting crunk so i feel better....school is really depressing me

3/18/2008 5:38:49 PM

i don't think you quite grasp the term..."power ballad"


Boston isn't exactly a Big Hair Band....and that's a pre-req for a song to be a power ballad

3/18/2008 5:39:50 PM

your mom is a power ballad!

3/18/2008 5:42:20 PM

YOU'RE RIGHT!

3/18/2008 5:47:15 PM

Then where does Led Zeppelin fit in? They aren't remotely a "big hair" band?


(FWIW, "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" has its place in the pantheon of Rock, but it is more of a "ballad" than a "power ballad")

[Edited on March 18, 2008 at 5:50 PM. Reason : I'm Ron Burgandy?]

3/18/2008 5:49:29 PM

Every Rose Has It's Thorn is number 3 on the list I saw...and it's most definitely a power ballad...

i still don't think you quite get it


DUDE....Zepplin what totally the first big hair band....they just didn't wear spadex and hadn't figured out that dudes could use Aqua Net in the late 60s/70s

[Edited on March 18, 2008 at 5:54 PM. Reason : Robert Plant's jeans where almost tight enough to be spandex though]

3/18/2008 5:53:40 PM

i hold the record in this also

3/18/2008 5:58:39 PM

Zepp was the tail end of the Classic Rock era. They were the cutting edge of heavy metal, yes, but they were most emphatically not a "Big Hair Band"

There is nothing "power" about ERHIT.

Dwight Yoakam's pants are tight enough to be spandex . . . so?





You know, as tall as I am, when I'm talking to you I can't help but stare at your boobs, and I'm beginning to think, they're the most intelligent thing on you.

3/18/2008 5:59:02 PM

oh you two haven't met.

she sucked my pants clean offa me the first time we met and now we claim each other as Dependants

3/18/2008 6:05:32 PM

well apparently my boobs are the only part of me that have ever listened to you...

because you don't know what the hell you're talking about...

Quote :

" The term "power ballad" is a colloquialism used to describe a type of song performed (but not necessarily written) by a hard rock or heavy metal band that is atypical of the songs defined by the hard rock and heavy metal genres. Typically, a power ballad is characterized by having a slower tempo, longer voiced notes, acoustic guitars in place of electric guitars, and deemphasized percussion and bass; but some sections of the song may include strong percussion and bass that are more typical of the hard rock and heavy metal genres for increased emotional effect. Common power ballad themes include (but are not limited to) emotional heartache, need, love and loss. In some cases, the power ballad may become the hard rock or heavy metal band's signature song. Contents History It is believed (but not necessarily documented) that power ballads first came into existence in the 1970's at the insistence of record company executives who may have coerced their signed hard rock and heavy metal bands to include a powerful ballad on an album based upon the possibility that the power ballad would attract a larger listening audience than the band's typical music. The potentially larger listening audience could then lead increased album sales. This belief is evidenced by the number of power ballads (and their albums) that achieved Top Forty status over the hard rock or heavy metal band's more typical music. A possible precursor for the power ballad form was The Carpenters' Goodbye to Love single in 1972, which featured a fuzz-tone screaming guitar solo (by Tony Peluso) situated next to a "middle of the road" vocal.[3] Examples Examples of songs that could be classified as power ballads include the following: * "Don't Wanna Say Goodbye" from the Raspberries' 1972 debut album The Raspberries * "Lady" from Styx's 1973 album Styx II * "I'm in Love with My Car" from Queen's 1975 album A Night at the Opera * "Burning Heart" by Vandenberg from 1982 * "Still Loving You" by The Scorpions from 1984 * "Sister Christian" by Night Ranger from 1984[4][5], as did Dokken's "Alone Again" in 1985.[6] * "Home Sweet Home" by Mötley Crüe, released in 1985 on the Theatre of Pain album[7] * "I'll Be There for You" by Bon Jovi * "Don't Know What You Got (Till It's Gone)" by Cinderella * "Love Bites" by Def Leppard * "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" by Poison * "Heaven" by Warrant"

that don't make no sense.

3/18/2008 6:17:24 PM

yes it does....because i don't recall much of what i've ever heard you say sound as dumb as what i've read you say...

therefore i must not have been listening with something besides my ears
