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?

Hero by Mariah Carey. Proper singing into the hairbrush song!

It's all coming back to me now - Celine Dion version

More Than A Feeling- Boston
Can't Get It Out of My Head- ELO

They're not power ballads per se but
Rock You Like a Hurricane by Scorpions
and Photograph by Def Leppard still totally rule

I was 11 when Photograph came out and I absolutely LOVED that song. I used to put that song in my head whenever I walked by my crush at middle school.

As some of the suggestions have taken a wide swerve of the term 'Power ballad', maybe it's OK for me to slide on in with Hold me Now by Johnny Logan. It still makes me cry Blush

I love this! I used to have this compilation on cassette called Cheek to Cheek and it was on that. Loved that tape!
