Favorite 90s Power Ballad

[Sir Stewart]

"Bombast" necessary.

[Analogman]

I'm going to go with Last Rose of Summer - Judas Priest. (that's the old skool JP - not the screaming for vengeance bullshit)

[embiggen]

There's no power to that ballad.

 

[caliber66]

It's like Mr. Big's "To be with You," minus the balls.

[Mrs. Peel]

Mr. Big did not have big balls.

 

If "I Remember You" was on the list I would have picked it, but from the options I was given I had to go with "Wanted Dead Or Alive" simply because it includes the line "I've seen a million faces and I've rocked them all."

Mr. Big did not have big balls.

That was kinda my point.

[Sir Stewart]

bump

[quarter23cd]

"Love Song" - Tesla

 

[solace]

Mr. Big did not have big balls.

oh no you didn't!!!!!

 

they had plenty of balls, just listen to their first record... Billy Sheehan is a god!

 

it was just that their biggest song ever (and one that i predicted being a hit like a year and a half before it actually happened) was a ballad

 

i still totally love Green Tinted Sixties Mind off that record.

 

after those first 2 records though they went to total shit

 

also, i'll add:

 

Kix - Don't Close Your Eyes

 

Ozzy & Lita Ford - Close My Eyes Forever

 

"Love Song" - Tesla

 

Tesla rules (yes still)

[Mrs. Peel]

just listen to their first record...

 

I'll take your word for it.

[Sir Stewart]

i still totally love Green Tinted Sixties Mind off that record.

That's a classic.

[Analogman]

Billy was originally in band called Talas.

[solace]

yup yup

[peqger]

Bonnie Tyler - Total Eclipse Of The Heart

 

80s obv.

[Sir Stewart]

Bonnie Tyler - Total Eclipse Of The Heart

 

80s obv.

Nice one!

[Atticus]

(Scorpions "Still Loving You")

[bobbob1313]

I went with "Every Rose Has It's Thorn" because of that Chappelle's show skit.

[Analogman]

In case you kids don't know who Kix was, this is Kix

[kathyp]

"Nothing Else Matters" - Metallica.

[Sir Stewart]

Does that count?

[jimtweedy1977]

I think What It Takes by Aerosmith should be on there, you idiot.

That's definitely 80's, 88 I think.

What about 'Love Song' by Tesla? Is that 80's or 90's? 'Home Sweet Home' (1990 version) is pretty frickin' sweet too.

Yeah, the whole "90s" part of this thread is a splotch on my record.

And Aerosmith's "Pump" was apparently released in September 89. Close one that.

[rareair]

"wind of change" - scorpions

[napoleon]

jesus christ, whats wrong with you people.

 

FREEBIRD!

 

EDIT: can't get enough of your love - barry white
