Give me your favourite power ballads

[Bobje]

Currently compiling a Spotify album for an upcoming road trip with siblings.
Looking forward to a good old belting it out session so tell me your favourites please!

Laura Brannigan. - Gloria

@Trox
"Love how Alone by Heart is clearly the 89 point Family Fortunes , answer for 'name any power ballad...' My immediate thought too!"

Is that an official FF Fact? 😂

Not rock ballady but Bellamy Brother. Let Your Love Flow is sing-alongey

Here's an earworm for you all, I bet you've not heard this for years - 'Suddenly' by Angry Anderson.
I'm suddenly (lol😉) transported back to being a teenager watching Scott and Charlene's wedding!
I was delighted that it appeared again in Gavin & Stacey.

Kayleigh- Marillion

Red by Daniel merryweather

Definitely will to power.

Three Degrees - McArthur Park.

%3D%3D

Eric Carmen - All by myself

More Than a Feeling- Boston

I don't know if it's a power ballad per se, but Photograph by Def Leppard amazed the hell out of 11-year-old me

My current one is Rain by the Sunday Service Choir

Diana Ross - Touch me in the morning

Extreme - More Than Words

Love this thread

without you - Nilsson (not the Mariah Carey version)

Jason Donovan sung this at our local park recently at an 80's festival. I was in my element

Just thought of another one... Missing You - John Waite

Not sure if it's a power ballad as such, but Bohemian Rhapsody. I mean, it's Bohemian Rhapsody. Can't not sing it on a road trip

Just added Lonestar 'Amazed' and Bryan Adams 'Everything I Do' 😃

You’re The Voice by John Farnham is a fantastic one to belt out. “WHOA-OH-oh Whoa-Oh-oh-ohhh” 🎵

Also Bed of Roses by Bon Jovi is criminally underrated. So overblown. Love it.

Dina Carroll- Don't Be A Stranger...

If you want some moody, drama along the way.

Btw, I'd love to have sibling road trips like yous! Sounds so fun!

Eloise - the Damned
Poison - Alice Cooper
With or Without You - U2

One Moment in Time - Whitney Houston

Not a ballad fan at all but I love this song

Words - F R David (one hit wonder I think)
Love Bites - Def Leppard
Gotta be somebody - Nickelback
All night long - Rainbow
Can't fight this feeling - REO Speedwagon
Carrie - Europe
Feel Like Makin Love - Bad Company
Since U been gone - Kelly Clarkson
I wanna get lost with you - Stereophonics

No More Tears/Enough is Enough - Barbra Streisand/Donna Summer

Boys of Summer -Don Henley
Non drivers can air guitar

I don't think you've had a bad suggestion yet, @Bobje but how about:

Crazy Crazy Nights – Kiss
Sweet Home Alabama – Lynyrd Skynyrd
Hit Me With Your Best Shot – Pat Benatur
Heat Of The Moment – Asia
Kayleigh – Marillion
Show Me Heaven – Maria McKee
Listen To Your Heart – Roxette

FWIW I absolutely love Romeo & Juliet, one of my favourite songs, but I don't think it's a power ballad exactly.
