Queensryche has been mentioned a few times but everyone seems to forget their best ballad. London

Fates Warning - Island in the Stream, A Pleasant Shade of Gray part IX and Chasing Time
Deep Purple - Sometimes I Feel Like Screaming
Alice Cooper - The Ballad of Dwight Fry (incase you're dating the mentally challenged)

Better yet, QR's The Roads To Madness and No Sanctuary from The Warning. And I Will Remember. What a great band they once were.

Roads to Madness is one of their best songs.

I got a whole playlist dedicated to power ballads.  In the 80's, no credible hard/glam rock band could do an album without 2 or 3.  Some I didn't catch mentioned already

Skid Row - Quicksand Jesus, Wasted Time
Heart - Alone
Damn Yankees - High Enough, Where you Goin Now
Whitesnake - Sailing Ships, Now You're Gone
Brighton Rock - One More Try
Giant - I'll See You in my Dreams
Warrant - Heaven
Tesla - What You Give
Steve Perry - Oh Sherrie
Black Crowes - She Talks to Angels
Halen - Can't Stop Loving You, Not Enough

And the ultimate ballad from The Bodyguard - I Will Always Love You

I fear for the day when something happens on the right that is SO nuts that even Stadler says "That's crazy".

Remember the mark of a great vocalist is if TAC hates them with a special passion

I imagined the story to go more like this.

I was sitting a traffic light blaring Space Dye Vest and next to me in another car was Kevin Moore. And I'll never be open again.

Actually its pretty much a tie with Take Hold and Eyes of a Stranger for me though.

I consider it their best song by far but, I've never really thought of it as a ballad. Maybe without the end section I would think of it as a ballad but, that part is straight rippin' ass metal. No Sanctuary is an amazing song as well as I Will Remember but, neither of those songs feel as emotionally driven as London to me.

The Alan Parsons Project - Old And Wise
This. Great song, and beautiful closer to an album.

So, I'm chasing these doves down the street and she's screaming at the top of her lungs, and then when the magician comes back from Europe, two of them turned brown!  Well I followed the instructions!
