Re: Power ballards
On that album cover is one of my old favourite bands and that was Extreme... Now, "More Than Words" would undoubtedly win the title of best Rock Ballad maybe, but not the best Power Ballad being that it's acoustic.
Maybe Meatloaf's "I would do anything for love" or Bryan Adams' "Heaven" could be contenders
My favourite bands' worst single could possibly be classed as a bit of a power ballad....
"Kayleigh I just wanna say I'm sorry
But Kayleigh I'm too scared to pick up the phone
To hear you've found another lover to patch up our broken home
Kayleigh I'm still trying to write that love song
Kayleigh it's more important to me now you're gone
Maybe it will prove that we were right
Or ever prove that I was wrong"
Maybe Meatloaf's "I would do anything for love" or Bryan Adams' "Heaven" could be contenders

I think Mr Blunt is planning a tour taking in the East coast of Australia in a few months, I will be there with my rope.
Great album.

I'm sure you can all do better than that....
