Also great songs, but I'd say "Starry Eyes" just has that feel of a power ballad more than those. Otherwise it would be an impossible choice between that and "On with the Show". Nikki Sixx may not be the world's most amazing lyricist, but on "On with the Show" he proved that he isn't just some sleazy goon.

What the fuck you on about bats, Klaus Meine is of the greatest vocalists of all time Yer sure his voice is a bit shot these days, but back then he was equal to Dio, Bruce Dickinson and anybody else you'd care to name......so stop dicking about.

It's all good and well you having your own opinion and all, but just don't make a habit of taking this stance with me.

Yeah, personally I find that not sucking is pretty exciting.

Thread quickly derailed, in bad forum tradition.
I'll put it back on track. Pick from here or select other songs. Metal Monday–The 100 Best Power Ballads of All-Time | Pastor Matt My two favorites (that I can think of now and don't veer into adult contemporary territory) are not on there. They are "When It's Love" by Van Halen and "Hysteria" by Def Leppard. The keyboards and dual guitars, respectively, elevate them above usual power ballads.

I love a lot of the songs on that list. My favourites must be Tears of the Dragon, Still Loving You, The Show Must Go On, Cryin' and Wish You Were Here. Can't narrow it down to one of them, though.

-------------------------------------- but back to the topic at hand My all time Power Ballad is Meatloaf Bat Out Of Hell The score and sound of the song is as pure and powerful as a Harley Davidson original fat boy (which is also a proper description of Meatloaf's vocals), and the lyrics are just as powerful and moving. Though the entire album is chock full of great ballads and the album in its entirety could be considered a great power ballad from front to back Meat Loaf - Bat Out Of Hell (original) - YouTube |
