    What's your favourite power ballad? For me, I think it's gotta be Aerosmith with "I don't Wanna miss a Thing". Pure cheesy awesomeness.

    So, your thoughts?
     
    Power ballads would have to be one of my least favourite song styles of all time (well, not really but yeah that Aerosmith song for example XD) Uhh... regular ballads I like, for example the obvious choice Hey Jude by The Beatles. But not really power ballads. And Angie by The Rolling Stones. I can't really think of any others off the top of my head. Maybe Maggie May by Rod Stewart?

    Oh yeah, I'm predicting there's going to be a ton of Bohemian Rhapsody's (which is a good song but I've heard it that many times that I don't even sing it in the shower anymore).
     
    1º - Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen
    2º - November Rain - Guns n Roses
    3º - Sister Christian - Night Ranger
    4º - I don't wanna miss a thing - Aerosmith
    5º - I wanna know what love is - Foreigner
     
    November rain is possibly the sweetest song ever. It made my cry. I'm sort of disappointed I was born in a generation where mainstream has taken over and bands like Aerosmith,Queen (although I'm not there greatest fans,but I have to respect their awesomeness).

    If Fade To Black is a power ballad (i've checked a few forums and it seems to be the case) then it's my favourite power ballad. November Rain if it's not.
     
    I only put November Rain in the second place because I'm not a Guns n Roses fan at all and Queen is my favourite band since ever. Maybe it's the only song I really like from Guns n Roses, but yeah, it's such a great power ballad, if not the best ever!
