Power ballards
 
Following on from the Aussie "feel good" songs, what is your favourite power ballard and why is it special to you?

Mine's the Power of Love by Jennifer Rush because they played it at my ex-bosses funeral...only joking!

How about Lilac Wine - Elkie Brooks. Why? It's a nice ditty and I like wine.

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

Do you count Stadium Rock anthems as Power Ballads?

The whole power ballad mob should be invited to a conference on some island somewhere in the south pacific, one of those french islands would be good, it should then have several ICBM's rain down and end the genre once and for all. It is not really my cup of tea.
Leather trousers and long sweaty hair, swinging the guitar around and waistcoats. :rolleyes:
What a waste of space.

Oh come on, I am sure a few missiles could be diverted from the middle east for this bunch of knobs.

What exactly is a power ballad, who are all those people with shockingly bad hair in those pics & more importantly, would they admit to it being them :scared: :eek: :D .
