    "Sell-out" is a difficult term to define... but I think it applies to a band like KISS, what with their thousands of products. Baseballs, condoms, even KISS coffins.
    Well, to each his own I guess. Maybe it's business school coming out, but if you can sell it, why not? I wish I could sell out Seems to me they understand that they won't always be able to have farewell tours, and after that, then what? Who actually wants to be a broke musician staying close to their roots? I'll wager no one, especially not a group of older rockers. In my humble opinion at least...


    Now to commission the Quick Orange ultra manly condom

    Far and awaythe single best 80s power ballad is Foreigner- I wanna Know What Love Is. No contest.

    My wife wants to put forward that although not a poer ballad as such, this song deserves a mention....

    Ronnie's sounding a little rough in his old age...he still rocks though. Good one with Rainbow in the Dark.

    Agreed

    I don't know if Don't Dream it's Over is a "power" ballad, but it's definitely a ballad.

    Too true. I just did a search for a more subtle rick-rolling link and ended up rolling myself with the evil link. Took me a few minutes to work out how to get back into Firefox without restarting it all.
