Thread: What's the best 1980's Power Ballad?

If you post an entry, make sure it conforms to that decade and either of these definitions:

ballad  /ˈbæləd/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [bal-uhd] Show IPA Pronunciation

Noun

1. any light, simple song, esp. one of sentimental or romantic character, having two or more stanzas all sung to the same melody.

2. a sentimental or romantic popular song.

For example, "Every Rose has its Thorn"? Ballad.

Motley Crue's "Girls, Girls, Girls"? No. A popular song, yes, but it doesn't meet the romantic or sentimental requirement.


I'll start off with a couple:

Skid Row - "18 and Life" (1989)
