Just listened to a great newer PB: "Far Behind" by Candlebox. Also good calls on "Ballad of Jayne" and "Don't Know What You Got", R2K.
...stay off the board for two hours and already this thread gets started and everybody posts all the good ones... my list is: Angel - Aerosmith Love Bites - Def Leppard I'll Be There For You - Bon Jovi Every Rose Has Its Thorn - Poison The Flame - Cheap Trick November Rain - Guns'N'Roses Don't Know What You Got Till It's Gone - Cinderella Silent Lucidity - Queensryche Though most of these have been mentioned already. There's a part of me that just loves the power ballad for some reason... nostalgia, maybe?
Every Rose Has its Thorn Without you (Lynus introduced me to it...great song!) Faithfully Open Arms I too love Patience. Who cares if it's a "power ballad" or not.
