Default Power Ballads

I'm going to admit it - I love the whole 80s power ballad thing.

My favorite is probably Boston's "Amanda". Poison's "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" may or may not count as a real "power ballad". But I figured I'd see...

What are your favorites?

The fact that you call them "Power Ballads" is hilarious.

I thought that was the commonly accepted referenct term these days. What do you call them?

Whatever you're calling them, you know the type of song I'm talking about. Just ignore the name, and go with it.

Yes. I think it's probably a common term, but is still funny. How about "Wanted Dead or Alive" by Bon Jovi?

Hehe...ok, for clarification, I'm talking about the whole 80s trend of rock bands with big hair trying to combine the love song (the ballad) with their hard rocking roots (the "power").
