Top 20 Power Ballads?

[Scott]

We all have a soft side, admit it!  Power Ballads play a big part of our musical lives, whether you like them or not.  Remember that first really close slow dance with that special someone ?  I do, and that song is in my list because of it!  Regardless of if you do or don't, these songs do something to us.  So now that Hidden Treasures has previewed some of these for you, lets find out who has the best taste when it comes to Power Ballads (hint: his name starts with "S") ... 

 

Please review each of the 5 lists posted and tell us what we missed, what we got right, what you would have done different, and who's the biggest softie (or wimp if you see it that way ) ...
