Power Ballads

[Piing]

Let's share non big-hits, rarities, favourites, and our new discoveries. We can skip the well known radio hits of Scorpions, Whitesnake, Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, Aerosmith, Bryan Adams, Guns n'Roses, Foreigner, etc



Lovebites are #1 material

Worth to add the veteran and pioneerss Show-Ya






The intro of July Morning is not quite a ballad, but the song is beautiful and powerful.

I support this thread. Not sure my definition of power ballad totally aligns with yours as I associate it with more of a complete AOR/perhaps parallel to hair metal direction? Nitpicking I am sure.

Given what you are posting up for examples here; though I will certainly play

Perfectly aligned.
I never heard Dream Evil before. Thank you for sharing it

How come I've never heard that one??
I realize that I've missed the album "Magica". Getting it right now!!

That particular album has some lyric cheese but is phenomenal.

This may be contained in your "excluded" list of bands, but whatever. I don't ever recall hearing it on mainstream radio. And yeah, the Led Zep influence is obvious, (1/2 step higher than Stairway. lol)

Kingdom Come What Love Can Be

 

[Alex Kenivel]

Not my thing at all. Lyrics are usually too cheese and on the nose. Why was @DrewJD82's Steel Panther entry my favorite?

Maybe something from "the best US prog rock band you've never heard"? Crack The Sky

 

[Stone]

Love the live version with John Sykes, the man can play

Some Thai Rock.

Loso is one of the veterans here




Some guitar pyrotechnics (same band as the video above)
BTW: that guitar is a Rangka, made in Thailand. It looks like this one has a sustainer


More Loso
