Launchcast Radio has a "Hair Flair" channel that gives me my fix of hair bands. They also have a "Power Ballad" channel as well. Glad to see I am not the only FReeper that listens to '80's Hair Metal.

Post 1990 was the start of all the "alternative" nonsense.

I see Tesla made it but would have picked "Changes" over "Love Song"

Of course! Please add me to your pingie thingie :)
From the list above I would go with:
1) Home Sweet Home-- Mötley Crüe (of course)
2) I Remember You-- Skid Row
...and although I'm not a big Queensryche fan I'd put "Silent Lucidity" at number 3
To: All
Although "Beth" is a good song by KISS (the B-Side to "Detroit Rock City"), I would argue that "Forever" is probably a better known power ballad by KISS. I will also argue that one of the power ballad groups that got alot of airplay in my college days was the hairband rockers Warrant. They had a slew of hits in the late 1980's, and to be a hairband getting radio exposure, you had to be a power ballad group.

Good tune, but I thought Stryper was always weaker in their ballads than the hard stuff, they really shined with the straight-up headbanging rockers like "The Way" and "To Hell With The Devil."

LOL. I think they are thinking that power ballads mean heavy metal/hard rock bands taking a stab at slow, dirge like love songs.

You're not...check out my profile page, I list lots of them. I also like the harder 80s metal like Slayer, too, but usually listen to the big hair stuff!
