Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the winner of #ThreadFail2013! -- nm - David Dec 31, 08:52
Stryper: Honestly. Game over -- nm - CQ Dec 31, 08:34 1
- L6! -- nm - Spawn Dec 31, 08:34
Is this overall power ballads of the 80s? I'll go I Remember You or Love Song (Tesla). - Inigo Dec 31, 08:08 32
- Love Song by Tesla was a great song. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 31, 08:31
- wait wait wait ... what about Bon Jovi's "Wanted Dead or Alive" ? 1986 - it owned the radio ... -- nm - JenBro Dec 31, 08:13 14
  - The Live version pretty much changed music for 10 years. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 31, 08:18 7
    - That and the live version of "Signs". -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 31, 08:31 6
      - awful song, awful cover. -- nm - Remlik Dec 31, 08:41 5
        
        Awful poster to who I am replying -- nm - David Dec 31, 08:53
        
        after about 2 weeks I wanted to rip my ears out but the effect of that song on music for about 10 years is undeniable. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 31, 08:48
        
        I do not go that far as I am a huge Tesla fan (Mechanical Resonance is one of my top 25 CDs). It was a fine song for them to do bit should never... - Spawn Dec 31, 08:45 2
        
        oh I like the band. but that song was *everywhere* every time I tuned on MTV they were playing that pos. -- nm - Remlik Dec 31, 08:46 1
        
        See my message. - Spawn Dec 31, 08:49
  - Not a ballad. But I'll Be There for You qualifies and is pretty solid. -- nm - pmb Dec 31, 08:15
  - It is a love song that Bon Jovi wrote to themselves. - Spawn Dec 31, 08:14 4
    - oh - sorry - I didn't realize there was a specific category - thought it was just "songs" :) -- nm - JenBro Dec 31, 08:17 3
      - We are talking "ballads" even though we are including power ballads. -- nm - Spawn Dec 31, 08:38
      - get with it Jenbro. sheesh. -- nm - Remlik Dec 31, 08:34 1
        
        heyyyyy - JenBro Dec 31, 08:54
- Also, Bringin' on the Heartbreak is Def Leppard's best ballad. It's not even close. -- nm - Inigo Dec 31, 08:12 1
  - It was a goof warm-up to greatness. -- nm - Spawn Dec 31, 08:34
- How can your outer message be so awesome, but your IM be so awesomely stupid!!! -- nm - Spawn Dec 31, 08:12 1
  - The song just hardly registers with me. -- nm - Inigo Dec 31, 08:20
- I'm going with Guns n' Roses Sweet Child O' Mine. After that I'm probably picking one of Heart's ballads. Alone or These Dreams. -- nm - pmb Dec 31, 08:11 8
  - *Air drums to "Alone"...* -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 31, 08:29
  - Hearts self titled album is one of my favs -- nm - eag Dec 31, 08:18
  - I'll go with a different GnR song and say "Patience". -- nm - Krusty Dec 31, 08:17
  - oh that can't be a ballad! -- nm - loosilu Dec 31, 08:11 4
    - it's borderline. It's not really a ballad. it was a pop song. -- nm - Remlik Dec 31, 08:41
    - I think it is. It's just not acoustic. -- nm - Inigo Dec 31, 08:15
    - Really? I think it absolutely is. But if you exclude it I'll go with Heart. -- nm - pmb Dec 31, 08:13 1
      - I could be persuaded. -- nm - loosilu Dec 31, 08:15
- see, I don't think Hysteria is really a ballad. -- nm - loosilu Dec 31, 08:09 2
  - It is one of those rare ballads that is *not* about heart break. -- nm - Spawn Dec 31, 08:13 1
    - hmmmmm. -- nm - loosilu Dec 31, 08:15
Every Rose is the best ballad - eag Dec 31, 08:07 1
- Top 3 or 4, for sure. -- nm - Spawn Dec 31, 08:35
Speaking as the biggest Crue fan on ST, I disagree. - Spawn Dec 31, 08:02 9
- Dont Go Away isn't even a ballad! I may have to check your Crue credentials. now if you were talking "Without You" - Remlik Dec 31, 08:04 8
  - it's just not their wheelhouse. - pippy bells Dec 31, 08:05 3
    - *ding* I was at a Theater of Pain show before the song hit and they played it. Was interesting to see it win over the crowd. -- nm - Spawn Dec 31, 08:44
    - yeah. and Loosi is correct below. Leppard (w/Steve Clark) just wrote poppier and better songs -- nm - Remlik Dec 31, 08:40
    - overally I like Leppard ballads better. -- nm - loosilu Dec 31, 08:06
  - No, Without You is horrible. And like I said, DGAM is as close as he can get to sounding right on a ballad. HSH is great, but not because of Vince. - Spawn Dec 31, 08:05 3
    - Nona? *ugh* I can agree with you on HSH a bit. I still think it's his best 'soft' vocal. I mean, he sucks as a singer... - Remlik Dec 31, 08:15 2
      - Nona was more of a joke. - Spawn Dec 31, 08:19 1
        
        I think they do. Though I wouldn't rule out shows in Vegas and festivals. But a tour...I think they're done. -- nm - Remlik Dec 31, 08:21
and Love Bites is a better ballad than Hysteria. -- nm - loosilu Dec 31, 07:52 12
- *makes the drinky drinky motion* - pippy bells Dec 31, 08:04 6
  - Agreed. - Spawn Dec 31, 08:06 5
    - yes. I can say I had an infatuation with Love Bites. it just didn't hold up as a valuable song over time - pippy bells Dec 31, 08:11 4
      - I got the CD when Women came out and immediately picked the three ballads as favs. -- nm - Spawn Dec 31, 08:33 3
        
        In all honesty, it is easier to pick your *least* favorite from that one, as there is too much quality. - Spawn Dec 31, 08:36 2
        
        you know I think Gods of War holds gets a 'most underated' song...when US started Gulf War 1... - Remlik Dec 31, 08:47 1
        
        I love it, just saying every other song on the CD got played more often than it. - Spawn Dec 31, 08:51
- good to see you follow Rule #1. -- nm - Remlik Dec 31, 08:02
- There's the crazy we know and love. -- nm - ty97 Dec 31, 07:54 3
  - Just because you picked If I Could Turn Back Time. -- nm - loosilu Dec 31, 07:55 2
    - well, since there's a definite Def Lepp theme going on, what about "Have You Ever Needed Someone So Bad?" -- nm - i'm not the New Year's Baby yet ! Dec 31, 07:57 1
      - I put Tonight and Two Steps Behind ahead of it. -- nm - Spawn Dec 31, 08:41
