Top 5 80s Rock Power Ballads

1.Pat Benetar- That one where she and the other chicks are doing a bit of a Michael Jackson 'Thriller' video dance 2.Starship - Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now 3.Whitesnake- that one where David Coverdale looks all mean in the video , can't remember the name 4.- Poison was it? not sure- Dude Looks Like A Lady! 5.- Survivor-Eye Of The Tiger

The only one that comes to mind is Queensryche's Silent Lucidity....

The 80s then.A nightmare to live through at times although out of all the recent decades we remember that era with the fondest memories .Think this dawned on me at 5 am in the 24 hour Rock bar in Eilat, November 1993 :burp:

You ever even consider playing any one of those at me and I'll tear your leg off and beat you to death with the soggy end.

That is all.

Same goes for you as Johnny, except with that little lot, I'd have to do your family, friends and pets as well.

ARRRRRGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RUN AWAY!!!!!!

I can only think of two--

"Silent Lucidity" - Queensryche and "Wind of Change" - The Scorpions

--and that's only because I like those two!!

1 Heart - Alone 2 Bonnie Tyler - Total Eclipse of the Heart 3 Foreigner - I want to Know what love is 4 Toto - Africa 5 Europe - Final Countdown

Should be all stuck in an oil field and set alight

Heart - Alone Pat Benetar - Love is a battlefield Whitesnake - Is this love Toto - Hold The Line

and

There's another but I can't think. I'll edit tomorrow

1. Sweet Child o Mine-Guns n Roses
2. Home Sweet Home-Motley Crue
3. Wanted Dead or Alive-Bon Jovi
4. Love Bites-Def Leppard
5. Winds of Change-Das Scorpions

def leppard - love bites scorpions - still loving you poison - every rose has its thorn white lion - when the children cry white lion - till death do us part

i don't really care. they are all great selections.

Well I guess that sums up the best of the 80s rock ballads...

At least I had the excuse of putting what came to mind... what is Jenn's excuse of mentioning it acouple threads AFTER you pointed it out, eh?

WHAT is wrong WITh you people????

that's all an utter load of crap! (IMO of course) Out of all those posted above, Aerosmith's Dude, & G&R's Sweet Child are decent

the rest . . . . please just

(but pat benatar, yes I would have - that's nothing to do with the music, you understand )

surely that's the very definition of a top 80s rock power ballad? i love 'em. often to be found belting out in the kitchen disco, with accompanying air-grasping gesture.
