Figured I'd see what people's opinions were of the top "ballads" by the best (and some of the worst) hair bands of the 80's/90's.

A few of my choices:

Skid Row - 18 & Life, I Remember You
Motely Crue - Home Sweet Home
Poison - Every Rose has its Thorn
Tesla - Love Song
Dokken - Alone Again
Slaughter - Fly to the Angels
GnR - November Rain
Queensryche - Silent Lucidity
Triumph - Lay it on the Line, Just One Night

Not technically a ballad....one of my favorites from the 80's was Billy Thorpe - Children of the Sun

Most are pretty cheesy by today's standards but I think that they were pretty good in their heyday.

IIRC, the last time we had this discussion, the final consensus was Journey's "Faithfully."

Is there any topic that hasn't already been done here on ATOT? I'm considering starting a "The last time you went back in time to assasinate a Samurai warlord, did you take any pictures?" thread just to make sure it's original.

You would probably get a link to an earlier post that has the pictures in it.
