Though individual songs are fine for mention, I am really looking for your thoughts on BANDS who generally wrote the best power ballads. Here are my submissions:
1.Scorpions: "In Trance," "In Your Park," "Yellow Raven," "Holiday," "Lady Starlight," "Still Loving You," etc.
2.Bon Jovi: "Silent Night," "Never Say Goodbye," "Living in Sin," "Stick to Your Guns," "I'll Be There for You," "Bed of Roses," "Always"
3.Vandenburg: "Burning Heart," "Different Worlds," "Once in a Lifetime," "How Long" |

Helloween, Guns n' Roses, and Aerosmith are all good bands for ballads. Alice Cooper is kind of hit-or-miss with his.

I like Testament's ballads "The Legacy", "Return to Serenity" and "Trail of Tears". They aren't a ballad machine. Whitesnake had decent ballads. |

yeah scorpions has cool ballads.
I like Skid Row's ballads alot(I remember you, wasted time, 18 and Life, quicksand jesus, in a darkened room) although they were really kindof cheesy(but still are most ballads so whatever).
Ballads i dont like: Manowar; specifically the kings of metal album. their ballads just sound so ridiculous after a while. they get so emotional about something that definitely never happened(as in like going to die the next day in a medieval battle). i like Master of the Wind alright though.
all the great Rainbow ballads/slow songs are great: Catch the Rainbow, Self Portrait, Temple of the King(awesome), Rainbow Eyes(Dio's voice was just beyond awesome on this song). and also on all other blackmore projects songs such as Child in Time(Deep Purple awesome), and all the Blackmore's Night stuff(i love all the melodie flow he has in all his songs, even if there isnt a cool solo, there will always be some awesome melody, and in the case of the medieval stuff it is even more apparent and awesome).

Amorphis's Divinity
I love it!!
Metallica's One
Speaking of sold out whores, I just heard their new tune today. It really didn't impress me. The riffs sound like Sevendust material. I think Lajon has been writing for good old Jimmy. Load and Reload I think are pretty good, but this new stuff has been done before. At least Load and Reload were original.
