Although the Scorps rocked, they often had horrible lyrics (probably partly due to English being their second language), however, "Still Loving You" was a great song!

That's a good one. I actually did an inebriated karaoke rendition of that song a couple years ago.

I would also add one or both of these two (generally regarded as the first "power ballads")..."Babe" or "Lady" by Styx.

Well, truth is since I LIKE hair bands (and harder metal) and nobody plays them, I listen to either talk radio or CD's.

I'm old enough, but I kept playing my Tull and Grateful Dead albums in lieu of listening to the radio. :o)

I'm trying to learn the guitar part to that one right now. Just the riff, not the Lynch solo near the end...I'm in no way that talented yet!
