Best power ballads

The org is a majority non power ballad place, as is the world at large. Few (particually males) admit to liking a power ballad when for example they get dumped or get turned down etc.....

gimme a power ballad and I'l give u a serious thought!

chicago "look away" "chasin' the wind"
jacko "i just cant stop loving you"
martika "toy soldiers"
Tiffany "here in my heart"
Michael Bolton "forever isn't long enough"
Prince "saviour"
tracy spencer "don't slip away"
NKOTB "if you go away"
Deff leppard "Love bites"
Starship "i didn't mean to stay all night"

Aerosmith's "Crazy" is cool. But, "When I'm With You" is the bomb. I remember that song. Very good song. Good pick.

Uh, how about this one:
"I Don't Want To Miss A Thing"/Aerosmith
If that's not a power ballad, then I don't know what is.

I dont like aerosmiths power ballads. Nor bryan adams or bon jovi. I may hceck out some bon jovi one day though.

Diane warren wrote "dont wanna miss a thing". Maybe its those screetchy vocals eek but I hate it. Good middle 8 though. Diane is good at those.



"explain it to my heart- chicago
"Nothing compares to u"- sinead o conner
"china in ur hand- t'pau (love that song!)
"if you asked me to"- patti labelle
"licence to kill"- gladys knight (awesome song- love the backing vox and middle 8)
any meat loaf
"time love and tenderness"- michael bolton (personifies a power ballad)
