The ultimate power ballads

Spend 10 minutes with me and inevitably I'll work into whatever conversation we're having how much I enjoy music...and then on top of that, how much of an appreciation I have for the art form that is the almighty power ballad. This is one kick-ass list of the best of the best.

I don't personally know the author, but well done, my friend...one of the best I've seen in a long, long time. It's current, historically well documented and unashamed to work in the mainstream bubblegum pop stuff.

Break out your credit card and consider this your iTunes Music Store shopping list for the weekend. Essential listening for anyone who doesn't mind a little cheese with their grinders.
