Favourite power ballad..

[IGotTheP0w3r]

My DD goes to sleep with music on, has done since birth, music stops about an hour after she's fallen asleep.. Currently on her play list is 80s Power Ballads.. One of which is my favourite, The Power of Love by Jennifer Rush (not Celine Dion version!!)
What's your favourite?

Meat Loaf - For Crying Out Loud. One of the best songs ever

Extreme - More Than Words

Right here waiting Richard Marx

If you leave me now - Chicago

Roxette - must have been love

Total eclipse of the heart

Black Velvet

@Liv999

These Dreams by Heart

Absolute banger!

I also love that song they had about getting pregnant from a night of passion in a motel with a hitchhiker - All I Wanna Do Is Make Love To You.

Love is Only A Feeling by The Darkness is an under rated gem, imho.

The makings of a great playlist here. 2 outta 3 ain't bad would've been on mine but it actually made me a little tearful when I heard it today in the car. The first ever concert I went to was meatloaf...
Purple rain is a classic also November rain

Don't Cry by GnR

I can't listen to meatloaf at the moment, he's one of my very favourite artists and it just makes me so sad.

I'm still in love with Rock of Ages as a musical (and even the movie) just because of the number of awesome power ballads used for the soundtrack to it. The movie got me through some of my lowest moments just because I could belt the songs out while watching.

Tina Arena - Chains. One of my favourite belters

Alone. Heart

Anything by Michael Bolton!

@SarahDippity

Think Twice, Celine Dion

@SarahDippity @IGotTheP0w3r Sorry guys...I’m afraid that song is and forever will be MINE 🤣 I’d sing the shit out of that “No, No, No, No!” at karaoke if I didn’t sound like a dying animal 🤣 my shower version is second to none 😏 haha

“Now 100 Power Ballads” is my playlist for when I’m cleaning the house 🤣

@IGotTheP0w3r

Unconventional one, but 4 non blondes, what's up always gets me badly singing also.

I absolutely love this. It’s a great one for karaoke. Great thread, I love all these. I’ve been listening to Meatloaf all day

Always by Bon Jovi!

Also alone by heart, through the barricades Spandau ballet and somewhere in my heart Aztec camera

This thread is making me add new songs to DDs playlist 😁

Somewhere In My Heart is a great pop song but I'd quibble about it being included in a power ballad compilation. As would Roddy Frame no doubt

It's All Coming Back to Me Now - Celine Dion.

Alone by Heart
It's All Coming Back To Me Now by Pandora's Box
Show Me Heaven by Maria McKee
Always and In These Arms by Bon Jovi
Without You by Harry Nilsson

These are all great songs! I need to make a playlist!
