12 Best 80s Power Ballads of All Time

There are few things in life as glorious as a great 80s power ballad! I can't lie - I love them! Here are 12 of my all time favorites!

1
Slaughter - Fly to the Angels
This song has been in my music collection forever and I always love when it comes up on shuffle!

Skid Row - I Remember You
Just shut up and throw your lighter in the air already!
3
Cinderella - Don't Know What You Got (Till It's Gone)
How did they become so wise about love?
4
Guns N Roses - Patience
We all learned how to whistle to this song.
5
Steelheart - I'll Never Let You Go
Contrary to popular belief, it is not called "Angel Eyes."

LA Guns - Ballad of Jayne
Because "time don't heal a broken gun..."

Saigon Kick - Love Is On The Way
Goosebumps. Every. Damn. Time.

Bad English - When I See You Smile
There is no doubting how he feels when he sees you smile!

Damn Yankees - High Enough
What would a list of great power ballads be without "them Damn Yankees?"
10
Alias - More Than Words Can Say
Why don't they make music like this anymore?
11
Dokken - Alone Again
A true power ballad with a killer guitar solo!

Tesla - Love Song
I believe there is a law somewhere that says it's illegal to exclude Tesla from the list of best power ballads. If there's not, there should be!
