You can say what you want, but what I'm getting at is those metal bands of the 80's....

With that in mind, I'm going with "Every Rose Has its Thorn" and "Love of a Lifetime".
 
Although not technically a power balad it could have been...Patience - Guns N Roses

Every Rose was Awesome too

I was asked last summer to play that on 2 seperate occasions. Once just a request and once for a "going Away" song. It packed the floor both times. Probably 20 years since I played it before that
 
IMHO

November Rain-GNR
 
Faithfully - Journey
November Rain - Guns and Roses
Dont Know What You Got - Cinderella
 
I really like all the above. Especially Open Arms.

I got to go with

Aerosmith: Don't want to miss a thing

I crank it all the time. Before I saw the movie it still was emotionally moving.
 
Journey- Loving, Touching, Squeezing
Jeff Healey Band- Angel Eyes
Climax Blues Band- I Love You
Ozzy- Mama, I'm Coming Home
Whitesnake- Here I Go Again
Sheriff-When I'm With You
Guns and Roses- Knockin' On Heaven's Door

...thx
 
Bed of Roses - Bon Jovi
Thank you for loving me - Bon Jovi
Can't Fight This Feeling - REO Speedwagon
Heaven - Bryan Adams
When I See You Smile - Bad English
Carrie - Europe
Total Eclipse of the Heart - Bonnie Tyler
Silent Lucidity - Queensrÿche
Love Hurts - Nazareth
I Don't Want to Miss a Thing - Aerosmith

I'm not suggesting that all of the above would be good for a wedding but I really like these power ballads.
 
I'll Never Let You Go by Steelheart.

Most power ballads start mellow and get louder until they hit a crescendo at the chorus.

This song starts on "11" and just goes up from there. :sqerr:

I don't even like the song, but it pretty much is the ultimate power ballad. :sqwink:
 
Just Between You and Me - April Wine
A Man I'll Never Be - Boston
