guitar.

also, drummers are dirty and gross.

 

[PepePeru]

tough call.

would Sister Christian by Night Ranger be as POWERFUL AND EPIC without the drum fills?

Would Every Rose Has It's Thorn be as emotional without that wailing guitar solo?

Drums...its more controlling of the tempo compared to the guitar.

I voted guitar, but I know its the hot babes

 

[Spydermag68]

It is the ear-worm lyrics.

 

[theprodigalrebel]

The correct answer is Celine Dion

 

[ivan2]

i read power ballet and i thought of male ballet dancers...

 

[meltdown75]

when you think of lost loves and you want to raise your lighter when you hear it in concert, it's a power ballad

it has to have sufficient power though.

none of this Bon Jovi "Never Say Goodbye" crap.

Tesla - What You Give.

now there's a power ballad

 

[KeithTalent]

This is one of my favourite power ballads of all time: Testament - The Ballad
