What are the greatest power ballads ever?  (NME.com -- by James McMahon)

And here’s what Gerard Way had to say...

“You know what’s a really badass song? You might not have heard it in the UK but the band Kixx have a song called ‘Don’t Close Your Eyes’. That’s just a like, power ballad. You don’t get more power ballad than that song. Power ballads are

I haven't heard that, but I think I need to now.

I'd never heard that song. I don't like it much -or maybe I just don't like the guy's voice xD. I think Scorpions' "Still Loving you" is TEH power ballad! (Whitesnake's "Is this Love" is close)

Oh my, I'm so old hahaha! (well, in my defense, I knew them later, I was too young in the 80's)

I must say I never gave into the cheesiness of "I don't love you". That one failed for me!

I'm a big fan of Extreme's "More Than Words".

that counts as a power ballad, right?

[yekith]

Not sure if it's 'power', but I love it too!

Oh early 90's, how I miss you!

(By Extreme, my favorite song always was "Hole Hearted")

It hurts my heart that y'all haven't heard that song before. I weep old-person tears.

[mizubyte]

I'd heard of it! I youtubed it for the entry! :-)

[yekith]

After hearing it now, I'd probably heard it before but never stayed in my mind cause I don't like it!

[yekith]

And...don't remember that band...

ROFLMAO. My mother would blast this song everyday for 3 years after she divorced my father. Dear god.

Hey Gee - I am so glad your band isn't good at power ballads. I'm just saying. :P

Me too! All ballads are EVIL ;-D

80's hair metal is evil.
