Power ballads: the neccessary evil needed by glam metal bands to stay popular and on the developing MTV

[marbananta]

Power ballads are classic. The sweet times in music era (80s-90s) I've ever had. My favorites are Alias, Styx, Journey, Foreigner, The Storm, Survivor, Winger, Firehouse, Dare, Beau Coup, and a lot ...

[kh888ni]

Las verdaderas power ballads que te dan donde mas te duele son Dont Know What You Got, Every Rose Has Its Thorn, Still Loving You, I Remember You, Ill Be There For You y Giving Yoursef Away

[satansmetal666]

[tucktuck96]

Wheres Sheriff When I'm With You?..

[monkybit]

[michael17415]

@Humane219

Dont be afraid of the dark, temptation, and surrender are three off the top of my head :) (the first is my favorite)

[Tom100P]

For me, the MSG and Steelheart songs stands head and shoulders above all other hair metal ballads.

[stansell1]

I agree, STRYPER should be here. After all, Honestly has been the most requested song/video in MTV history!

[satansmetal666]

whats the name of the blue murder song?

[666Metalholic]

Iron Maiden- Wasting Love...u forgot the best band out of all of them

[GeoRazorbladeFish]

@666Metalholic Released in 1992

[afdisneyfreak7]

I wished it included "Honestly"-Stryper.

[vadiazinhagenteboa]

Shocking. Heart didn't make the list. They had great power ballads like Alone and Never. Granted, Heart are not metal, neither are Bon Jovi. Hell, by all means, even Roxette's Listen to your Heart could be tossed on this list. Nice job though, thanks for posting this.

[SparkZ1420]

DOKKEN!!!

[Heartadia]

what was the very first song sung at thee beginning?

[KenMacMillan]

Patience is a great song but it's not a power ballad.

[katkeifer92]

[LobatonOscar]

@katkeifer92 silent lucidity 

[MoltoPiccante]

Thanks for bringing back the memories....

[ThePowerheavymetal]

holy crap I never realized how much Alcatrazz sounded like Queensryche.

"Nothing Else Matters" AMAZING!

"Silent Lucidity" EPIC!

The Scorpions FUCKING ROCK!!!

Dam man, AWESOME compilation! I was probably between 10-14 when all of these songs were hitting the charts. What a time to grow up. Late 80's, early 90's. I miss this stuff. Today's music will NEVER compare to this

[DiaryOfAMadfan]

wow yngwie went 2o secends without doing some horrible e phrygian run

[band5150]

should make a series of videos about these ballads. just cuz theres so many great bands that didn't get the popularity they deserved from their ballads.

[CICRIGHT]

ke temazos son todos estos...cuantos recuerdos..i cuantas bandas ke ni conocia i ke son  buenisimas...ii io ke kreia ke sabia harto de rock....jajajajjaaj....como me diria Ryoma ..."te falta muxo"...jajajaaj :P

[ALEXandROCKandROLL]

cinderella the best

[ibcnitall]

The concerts were the most "AMAZING" though..... US Festival 1982-1983 was the most exciting days of my life.....FUCK YA!!!!

[XsomeoneXelseX]

People, stop bitching about the music. Youtube has a length restriction of about 10 minutes, you can't expect the author of this video to fit every single 80's band there.

Don't like, don't watch, simple as that.

Great vid.

[hardsixteenyeah]

Let's bring this music from 80's back, PLEASE!!!

[LiMaUmZaXoR]

godamnit almost cried in here im only 17 and im addicted for this kind of music...i wish i was born back then :/

[DiaryOfAMadfan]

@LiMaUmZaXoR i no hey im 12 and i love this music but im teased coz i dress like the glam bands

[FFStalin]

@DiaryOfAMadfan Don't dress like them, listen to intensely to them instead

[DiaryOfAMadfan]

@FFStalin i dont care if they tease me

[Elwappo1234]

...i miss the 80s the best decade ever :-) just epic

[Edea161090]

Skid Row above everybody else!!!!!

[gameshow1001]

GUNS N ROSES,FASTER PUSSYCAT,TUFF,SKID ROW,L.A.GUNS,MOTLEY CRUE,TESLA,POISON!!!!!

[gameshow1001]

GUNS N ROSES,FASTER PUSSYCAT,TUFF,SKID ROW,L.A.GUNS,MOTLEY CRUE!!!!!

[cricribi1]

First, scuse my english, but i want to say that i miss this powerful music. If you were 15-20 in this tme and were American, you had the luck to know all these great bands on radio and TV. But for us, in France, no music channel at all!! Only few knew our favorite bands. The only music on radio and TV was "new wave", Madonna, english pop music and boring french stuff. These boys were real musicians,amazing singers. This music is good energy and positive values.So sad it was almost 20 years ago..

[jules3345]

loved it

[TheTillinger123]

the time when the music was REAL

[AnthonyRomagnolo]

White Lion is awesome.

[GUNZnROWSES]

I remember you <3

[JisNUMEROuno]

how did anyone ever get Alice Cooper to do a love ballad? That one was just wierd.

[moviegeek75]

you missed one of the BEST monster ballads....When I see you smile by Bad English

Also...Only Time Will Tell by Nelson

one more....More than Words by Extreme

[moviegeek75]

you missed one of the BEST monster ballads....When I see you smile by Bad English

Also...Only Time Will Tell by Nelson

[moviegeek75]

you missed one of the BEST monster ballads....When I see you smile by Bad English

[Carrjam94]

Love this list!! All this songs are great!

[burritto217paintball]

Gosh it sez includes some early 90s ballads also thumbs up if u think they should read :P

[Newbpwng]

i was born in 85 so i grew up listening to my parents litening to this so it brings back memories to me

[joeybrown1962]

Well It wasnt bad. But it figures that they left out the band with the greatests ballads of the eighties. Y&T. They were the best at it.

[Lickthecloth]

Can't help but notice. This says 80's metal power ballads, yet Nothing Else Matters was 1991..... Just sayin.

[hvg7067]

@Lickthecloth .Yup. But at the start of the video, it also says "Includes some ballads from the early 90s" :)

[Lickthecloth]

@hvg7067 But, that song is not really that great. :(

[bmorgan2814]

Helloween and Giant, but no Quiet Riot? WTF?

[MrRageSpawn]

oh the days of the new and improved cassette tapes. the death of 8tracks.
