    Discussion Best heavy metal/hard rock ballad?

    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.
