Some Power Ballads? - Essaj43 - 23-08-2013
Hey there, so I just introduced myself, but to keep it brief, a few buddies of mine and I are working on a "dramatic race" view, something funny.
I was thinking of using power ballad type songs because I saw this one vine on the net with the Whitney Houston song "I will always love you" (with the kid in cones on top of a car), and thought it was hilarious.
I was wondering if anyone knew any good power ballad type songs, preferably by women, I could use? Songs similar to ones like, Eternal Flame, by The Bangles. I love the whole, gated snare drum reverb, I think it's so over the top and perfect for the type of thing I am doing. Plus they can actually help me sleep.
Thanks!

Bonnie Tyler's "total eclipse of the heart" is a classic power ballad, written by Jim Steinman of "bat out of hell" fame...

"Nothings Going to Stop Us Now" by Starship has to be one of my all time favourite power ballads.

I don't know if some of the songs mentioned here can be classified as 'ballads' but I get the general idea. Try 'Voice of America' by Asia. I would not call it a ballad as such but it seems to fit with all the other suggestions mentioned. And power it certainly has - a lot of it.
