My vote goes for "I Remember You."

Skidrow may have been cheesy, but man Bach could sing. I love to hear people try to hit those notes at karaoke nights.

Saw Bach opening for Dokken and Poison a few years back still has a great set of pipes

We're talking Power Ballads. R. Kelly is far from being on one of the bands already mentioned here

I know this song is cliche and many people hate it for various reasons, but would this song be considered a power ballad? And if it is a power ballad, wouldn't it have to be considered among one of the greatest?

Holy shit! This thread has been up for over 24 hours and no one (including me) has mentioned Tesla's Love Song. This site has officially failed. Justin, shut it down. It's over.

When it came to Skid Row power ballads, I thought they kicked ass on Slave to the Grind (album after the one with I Remember You). Had Quicksand Jesus, In a Darkened Room and another that I can't remember the name of. All were great.

I was a big fan of Wasted Time from that album.
