Day 2 Of This Project -

TOP 10 POWER BALLADS 

10. Def Leppard - Love Bites (If I didnt cave to modern day playlists, this would be 1) (also...what has 9 arms and sucks?)

9. Motley Crue - Without You (come on dude ok this one was my indulgence pick)

8. Heart - Alone (come on)

7. Ozzy Osbourne w Lita Ford - If I Close My Eyes Forever (if this not in your top 10 I dont want to know you)

6. Saigon Kick - Love Is On The Way (This was the singer from Tesla and I forget where the guitarist came from but this deserves a power ballad nod)

5. Cinderella - Don't Know What You Got Til It's Gone

4. Metallica - Nothing Else Matters - This is a stretch to call a Power Ballad but I would have it one if it was even debatable 

3. Steve Perry - Oh Sherrie (Could also be yacht rock)

2. Guns N Roses - Patience (I dont feel bad about this one, could easily be 1)

1. Extreme - Wholehearted (this is going to be EXTREME-ly controversial but I think it encapsulates a power ballad)

I missed a ton and I misordered even these 10 - this is where I want discussion - your own 10 that I missed. I will keep the original post open and edited with all lists. Love to all. Im a pianist and singer so I def favor the piano ballads.
Regarding this list. I grew up in Boston. Extreme plays into all lists. I thought they were super talented and deserve a spot at the top of any rock list. I'm being indulgent, I know, but Extreme was a big part of my life

I was never a big fan of Extreme, although I will agree they were very talented - especially Nuno Bettencourt, who was as good as anyone on the scene.

I think their best moment was at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert in 1992. They were huge Queen fans and stole the show with an outstanding 20 minute medley of Queen tunes: :https://youtu.be/l26ARroNhS4

 
I mean there is also that stat where Gary Was the lead singer of van Halen for a good part of the 90s. Not a good stat for any singer of VH. But he held his own

Here's ten to start...then you can tell me if I should keep going. 

Cool Places - Jane Wiedlin & Sparks 

(Here's a surprisingly good live version)

New Church - Lords of the New Church 

For punk rock fans. Lord's Prayer is good too, but you can't find that on Spotify for some reason. 

Reptile - The Church

Along with Under The Milky Way, they had two of the 80's best songs...but that was about it

Chamber of Hellos - Wire Train

I also really like Everything's Turning Up Down Again and Last Perfect Thing

Wild Horses - Gino Vannelli

See also, Black Cars

Information - Dave Edmunds

See also, Slippin' Away

Twist of Fate - Olivia Newton John

See also, Heart Attack and Make A Move On Me

Everywhere I Go - The Call

The bass line on this song is just the BEST. 

Veronica - Elvis Costello

A sad, but very heartfelt song.

Cathouse - Danielle Dax

Because it's obscure, has a boss saxophone line, and rocks!

Well I know what I'm doing today. Keep going. This is a thread for musical masturbation.

I used to hate all country songs

But then I realized how often I enjoy acoustic ballads

Americana and the revival of bluegrass/folk made me a little more open to The Ryman crowd

As long as I don't have to call it country I'm good
