Ooooo...Strong statement... For me it's

Broken Wings by Mr. Mister or

Carrie by Europe

[–] MovieBuff224 (5053) 3 years ago

Both great songs, but neither hit as hard as that

Broken wings wouldn't be a power ballad would it? ... What is a power ballad exactly?

"Heroine" by ASIA.

If I Don't Have You is the best slow song Lou Gramm's ever done, IMO. It's on his solo album Ready or Not.

Do you use your brush as a mic and sing along? I DO! 😁

I love power ballads and I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That) by Meatloaf would probally be my fave.

Ha! Cute image.

Are you familiar with the Australian singer Tina Arena? She did a cover version a few years back which is also quite nice:

No way chum. The greatest power ballad is ' Famous Blue Raincoat ' by Leonard Cohen

I disagree. It is a very good power ballad, but I think Donkey Kong is the best power ballad ever.
