way too many but here's a couple

Alone Again - Dokken
Empty Rooms - Gary Moore
Goodbye to Romance - RR/Ozzy
Beth - Kiss
Don't let it end - Yngwie
Is This Love - Whitesnake

A great list that needed one minor correction (sorry but Here I Go Again is not a ballad even though it starts out like one).

Overall, Skid Row had some of the best. The big two from the first album have already been mentioned, but Quicksand Jesus, In a Darkened Room, and Wasted Time were all great.

I support this post 100% (even though I think "In A Darkened Room" was already mentioned?).
 
1. Tesla - What You Give
2. Skid Row - I Remember You (I would of chosen Wasted Time, but I was not sure if this would be classified as a ballad)
3. Dokken - Walk Away

wow tough call as to what is a "power ballad" and what isn't.....My list could be top 20 really but these 3 really stand out for me

in a darkened room - skid row
through these eyes - lynch mob
given yourself away - Ratt

I see many tunes that I love so far. I am not sure that I could pick 3 but take away the Ratt tune and the other two listed here would be on my list.

Winger - Headed For A Heartbreak

One day, with WAY too much time on my hands, I realized that Winger's top songs were all probably about the
same chick:

1. "Seventeen." Meets chick, who is in high school.
2 "Headed for a Heartbreak" - Chick is graduating.
3. "Miles Away" - Chick goes to college.

:lol: :LOL:
 
Anything For You - Mr. Big
Journey to Ithaca PII of the Odyssey - Symphony X
Trail of Tears - Testament.

2 aren't really "power ballads" from hair bands, but still great ballads.
