Or if you want to dump her and you've not got the spuds - buy her this shite and she'll dump you.

Well I guess it would be nice.

You can all fuck right off - this is boss. I get pissed and force the Mrs to dance with me 'round the living room to the Motor City legend himself.

You see, Chimpy, I'd just count that as a ballad.  Nowt wrong with ballads.  

 

It's just when poodle-haired tedious fret-wankers try to emote they generally fuck it up, horribly.

Excellent point well made AoT.

Superb.

Not scrolling back through ten pages to see what’s been posted. I declare this thread started anew from now. 
 

 

[Sugar Ape]

Goes without saying this is the greatest power ballad of all time. 
 

 

[Sugar Ape]

Fucking hell. Didn’t realise there was a poll attached to this thread that didn’t include Swayze. This is a dark day in forum history. 

[Dr Nowt]

Saw the thread.

 

Saw who’d made the last post.

 

Knew exactly what that post would feature.

 

Checked it anyway.

 

[Sugar Ape]

Haha. I’ve never been more proud to be so predictable.

[Sugar Ape]

Is this a power ballad? It is in my eyes. 
 

 

[Sugar Ape]

Just been shouted at because, allegedly, I was singing Dancing on the ceiling so loud I woke her up. 
 

Guess I’ll just have to sing Whitesnake or something now. 
 

Edit:  Shania Twain you’re still the one. 
 

Edit edit: I’ve had the time of my life. And I owe it all to @Captain Turdseye

Would you believe it didn’t even make the top 16 US sitcoms? Taxi for Stig!

[Sugar Ape]

Look, after Swayze, I don’t think you can argue that ‘I want to know what love is’ by Foreigner is basically the creme de la creme of power ballads and I reserve my right to sing it as loud as I like. 

[Sugar Ape]

And, for fucks sake, REO Speedwagon are somehow still leading this poll.

Also, the best song by a band from Champaign is How ‘bout us by, admittedly, a terribly named band called Champaign.
