Bat Out of Hell one of the most overblown albums of all time and sure it is like one giant power ballad.

They do, but they're too stubborn to acknowledge the fact.

I think that there can be a lot of misconception when defining power ballads with rock ballads in my opinion, which are more love ballad orientated lyrically.
Especially when considering songs like Midnight Rider by The Allman Brothers or one of my favorite 80/early90s songs, Wasted Time by Skid Row to the final countdown. |

I think it (Love Hurts) deserves to BE on the list, though. It's not the best one, and it becomes annoying in the long run, but it did become a hit. Several times.

Yeah, heaven forbid a discussion transpires on a discussion board.
Anyway, I'm sure I'll be harassed endlessly about this, but I'm a pretty big fan of Whitesnake's "Here I Go Again". It's probably mostly out of nostalgia, but that song really does transport me somewhere else: |

"Still Loving You" is still the best power ballad suggested so far.
