I Want To Know What Love Is - Foreigner

For those who weren't born or don't remember and those that do, it's an incredible forty years since this song reached Number 1 in the UK. A bit of a classic really. I'm not at all keen on power ballads by and large but IWTKWLI really hits home.

I also like Feel Like Makin' Love by Bad Company and All I Need by Beth Nielsen Chapman.

Any other power ballad favourites?

Has anyone mentioned Starship, We built this city on Rock and Roll?

I also used to play Everyone's gotta learn sometime by the Korgis over and over again.

Thanks to a pp for reminding me of Sad Cafe .... loved them

Please don't go or if you leave me now by Chicago. Not sure of the title. 'If you leave me now you'll take away the very heart of me. Ooh baby please don't go.

Alone by Heart (already mentioned I see)

I initially thought you meant Please Don't Go by KC and The Sunshine Band. I can't listen to that now after watching Dahmer on Netflix!

I was very much an 80s hair metal rock chic. I love most of these, they take me back to the golden days of youth.

Are we allowed to like them in an ironic way op?

If so, REO Speedwagon, Keep On Loving You. 😁
