Worst Power Ballad Ever

[Ash]

While there is wosre -  "Fly to the Angels" by 'Slaughter' - i really, really  hate that song

Hey...I like that song!
I like pretty much anything by Slaughter.

[Zapranoth]

Put all Air Supply songs on a dartboard.

Throw dart.

(Mind you, that doesn't mean I won't listen to them, because I will.)

"Love Bites" by Def Leppard. Man their music sure did suck.

[BeyondTheGrave]

This is funny because I like most of these bands like Guns N Roses, Aerosmith and Def Leppard . I love punk, Metal and Hardcore but just like my movies I like all the cheesy hair metal stuff.

I would say power ballads by Cinderella or Winger. Maybe I don't like Winger due to hours watching Beavis and Butthead when I was a kid but man they suck.

Yes, BTM is talking about Damn Yankees, and the song is called High Enough.

As far as power ballads go, I'm really not sure, because in most cases I hear those two words together and I run like hell.

I found this list of somebodies top 10 favorite power ballads, I'd say it's a good top 10 list for the worst too;

1. Heaven - Warrant
2. Every Rose Has Its Throne -Poison
3. Home Sweet Home - Motley Crue
4. Open Arms - Journey
5. Siren Lucidity - Queensryche
6. Love Is On the Way - Saigon Kick
7. Still Loving You - Scorpions
8. Angel - Aerosmith
9. Keep On Loving You - REO
10. Goodbye to Romance - Ozzy Osbourn

Although I do kind still like #8 and #10

[Mr. DS]

Did someone dare bring up KISS's Forever.  A song written by Michael Bolton.

Bryan Adams - Everything I Do (...I Do It For You)

also one of the lamest cop-outs on a guitar solo ever...the only thing that can partially retrive a power-balllad from drowning in a swamp of hairspray and 80's emotion  is to at least have some kind of balls-out axe solo or good section in the middle....this doesn't. plus it was also at #1 in the charts for 16 weeks in the uk.

10. Goodbye to Romance - Ozzy Osbourn

That's a great song. I wouldn't really call it a power ballad.

[voltron]

Anything by Stryper (puke). I LOVE early Def Leppard, back before "Love Bites" that is. When they were just a straight up NWOBHM band.

[HappyGilmore]

I'd say pretty much anything by:

Winger
Stryper
Europe

"Don't Know What You Got 'Til It's Gone" by Cinderella. "Nobody's Fool" sucks pretty badly too.

I had Damn Yankees' first album on tape, I went through a brief phase when I thought Ted Nugent wasn't completely awful. I got sick of the tape pretty quickly, but used to take it with me on band trips because all the girls loved "High Enough". Meanwhile I was usually listening to Johnny Winter around that time.

Really? Hey, I never thought much of KISS, but now I really like that song!
