Just about everything from Whitesnake.

HATED their music, loved Tawny Kitaen.

"Alone Again" The Scorpions, the singer had to learn all their songs phonetically

Don't forget Ozzy and Lita Ford.

"Close My Eyes Forever"

The one true power ballad is "Babe" by Styx, but that's 1979 dangit.

"I Remember You"

i have to say +1 on G N R Patience. i like Hair Metal for what its worth, but i think G n R can't be beat and i still listen to that song to this day (keep in mind i was born in 1983, so what do i know right).

i don't care when it came out, More Than Words is awsome and the video is even better.

+1 to that. G&R can't be beat. I was lucky to see them open for Aerosmith in '88 and again in '92. They were awesome live. I'm still a huge fan 20 years later. Too bad they couldn't get past their drama, who knows what they could have been capable of.

I wonder if I would be run out of town on a rail if I posted a link to a Marty Robbins ballad?

...I'll be right back...
