I was thinking about this today while listening to some tunes. A lot of metal/rock bands made the 'power ballad' to get some commercial success, especially in the 80's and 90's. A lot were shitty, but some were quite good.

What are your nominations for the best metal power ballad?

I'll start with this one:

I really like this one and I think Sebastian Bach and Skid Row were terribly underrated at the time.

I'd have to give it to Queensryche - Silent Lucidity.

I thought it was Pink Floyd the first time I heard it.

I saw them in concert in the early nineties. Loud fucking concert mind you, as it was held indoors and bands like Queensryche play off better in an open air stadium. "Suicidal Tendencies" was the opening act, I liked them and bought a hat.
