I'm arguing that first and best was 'Hey Jude', but let's move this conversation to the true '80's ArenaRock Power Ballad.

I'll put 'I wanna go where love is' -- Foreigner. (Might not be the right name.). But that's not my favorite. I'm holding back. Really embarrassed.

Off the top of my head, I'd go with Peter Cetera's "Glory of Love."

Night Ranger's "Sister Christian" FTW!

U2 - Pride In the Name of Love. Resist standing. Resist singing. You cannot, for you will seem like an enormous douche.

Oh please, the MASTER of the power ballad is Meat Loaf. "Bat Out of Hell," "You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth," "Two Out Of Three Aint Bad," and all-too neglected "For Crying Out Loud."

Aerosmith's "Dream On" would be it for me, I suppose - since it was the title song to my H.S. Prom. But, if I personally had to choose...it would be either "Magic Man" or "Barracuda" by Heart. I love fellow hardcore rock n' roll chicks !

My guilty pleasure is "don't know what you've got 'til it's gone' by Cinderella.

so did I not understand the question? Was I thinking Rock Anthem?

High Enough by Damn Yankees. That or I'll See You In My Dreams by Giant.

Sorry... the 1980s... It's a split between "I Wanna Know What Love Is" by Foreigner and "How Soon is Now?" by The Smiths
Tuesday at 5:53pm ·
Flint Dille
Sister Christian and Nothin Else Matters and I Wanna Know What Love is are True Power BAlads. I dn't know How Soon is Now.
Tuesday at 5:59pm ·
Terrence C Briggs
It's mopey, yes. But Foreigner... tough to top.

Michael Ring
Is Kyrie from Mr Mister in this category? I learn it in 6th grade and it always stuck with me.
Tuesday at 6:05pm ·
Terrence C Briggs
Darnit! Forgot Broken Wings. And LoveSong by Tesla.

Mary Pendergast
This is an oxymoron.

Terrie says 'Living on a Prayer'

Sharon LaBorde
"I'll Remember You" by Skid Row is one that immediately comes to mind... "Fly to the Angels" by Slaughter...my personal favorite is probably "Home Sweet Home" by Motley Crue.
"How Soon Is Now" would be more alternative rock/wave, I daresay, as would "Kyrie". And sorry guys, anything from the Transformers: the Movie soundtrack would classify as glam metal. No power ballads there.

Sister Christian. Especially if you're throwing small firecrackers inside while blasting the song. (that's a Boogie Nights reference that may have gotten away from me...)

Noel Wolfman
Quilty pleasure would have to be something by Journey. But personal fav would be Stairway to Heaven.
Tuesday at 11:42pm ·
Noel Wolfman
oh....and Dream On was my HS Prom theme song too!
Tuesday at 11:42pm ·
Flint Dille
Stairway to Heaven is too much of an art song to be a power ballad. Of that era, 'Beth' by Kiss might be one. Well, that's later.

Steven, I'm going with you that maybe Epitaph is kind of a proto ballad, but I put early Crimson on a very high pedestal. Power Ballads are kind of metal muzak. Lizard... Wake of Poseidon... That's art.
