I'm sorry. November Rain on #8 and Bon Jovi on #6? That's just wrong!
I'm sorry. November Rain on #8 and Bon Jovi on #6? That's just wrong!
Cryin by Aerosmith ?
Kix don't close your eyes?
Cutting Crew – I just died in your arms tonight. Not even a mention? Tsk, tsk, tsk.
Man in the mirror and dream on should be in there
Ozzy Osbourne, "Mama I'm Coming Home"
You must be youngsters… Ever hear the song desperado? Okay it's not really"power" but has been one for ages. Fuel had a song with plenty of power. Leave love bleeding in my hands, in my hands again… Not sure about your choices here though. Some definitely deserve to be here. Kiss, brian adams, REO, genesis, journey, rod stewart, ac/dc, all could have made the list. Can't say I was too surprised at this list when you consider the age of the long winded dude talking thru it though.
Def Leppard)) classic))
Aerosmith "Dream On." No-brainer.
What the actual fuck? November Rain number 8? Bed of Roses number 6? Aerosmith not even on the list? Most bullshit list I've seen from you fuckers and that's saying something!
Klaus Meine may be #3 here, but he'll always be #1 in our hearts.
How come the biggest underwear / panties is not here? ALWAYS FROM BON JOVI
Totally forgot Keep On Loving You by REO Speedwagon
NO METALLICA!
(Fade to Black, The Unforgiven, Nothing Else Matters, The Day That Never Comes)
COME ON
All those reasons they gave for #1 is the same for faithfully by journey. Every person knows that song and played in every bar. Nov rain and every rose should have been higher.
When the children cry by white lion and heaven by warrent should have gotten honorable mentions
where is Stairway to Heaven? And Wind of Change is pretty bad ass too.
Oh là là! And how about Led Zeppelin and " Stairway to heaven" or W.A. Mozart and "Lacrimosa"
"One Step From Paradise" by Danger Danger
Testament – the ballad, and return to serenity. Iced earth – anthem
More than words – extreme?
What about Barracuda by Heart?
This Romeo is bleeding,,,
But you can't see his blood.
~ Always
Hear I go again on my own.
I'm sorry but the #1 is a load of crap. Journey should've at least placed. Other than Def Leppard they were the masters of power ballads. Get your crap together WM
This list is total crap.
Good list-I thought the honorable mentions were more relevant that the choices up to about 5 but why did you leave the girls for last? Did you forget Joan Jet, Melissa Ethridge and Janice Joplin?
where is ROXETTE ????????
No aerosmith songs on the list? And fucking alone is number1…
come on really every rose!!!!
wheres Purple Rain at??
How did Purple Rain not make this list? Or any of Queen's greatest ballads?
Frankie Goes To Hollywood – The Power of Love.
How about 'I want you' by Elvis Costello?
Faithfully is ultimate power ballad
LOve Def leppard
1A. “Open Arms”
1B. “Keep on Lovin’ You.”
Period.
