Entre_Perpetuo Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Had a couple of power ballad threads a week or so ago, but today we begin a contest to see which song is truly the greatest power ballad of all time. In this first round, we're simply compiling contenders for the title. We'll list out 120 power ballads, one post at a time, and once we reach 120 I'll randomize them and start a series of polls to determine the winner. No double posting please! Wait until at least one other person has made a contribution before you add your next song to the list. I'll start: 1.

Derek19 Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 (edited) I've known what a "power ballad", and definition of one is. Some people, and others might, and would say that "Journey - Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)" is, and has been considered, and classified as "rock". We all, and each of us are going to have our different opinions about that. 1. What It Takes - Aerosmith2. When the Children Cry - White Lion3. Lady - Styx4. Eyes Without A Face - Billy Idol5. I Want to Know What Love Is - Foreigner6. Separate Ways (Worlds Apart) - Journey Edited September 2, 2021 by Derek19 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Want to Know What Love Is - Foreigner6. Separate Ways (Worlds Apart) - Journey Somebody needs to learn what a power ballad is. Separate Ways is a rock song. See what Cat has posted. Those are the very definition of what a power ballad is. Edited September 2, 2021 by J2112YYZ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
