"What About Love" & "Alone" HEART
"Every Rose Has It's Thorn" Poison
"Love Bites" Def Leppard
"Heaven" Bryan Adams
"Beth" KISS
"Sister Christian" (?)
"Keep On Loving You" REO Speedwagon
Those are a few of may favourites that come to mind!
Last but not least nobody can write a "power ballad" like Jim Steinman
Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of The Heart" is an all time classic

Paul Stanley of KISS bets out great Power Ballads. It's too bad more folks don't realize this.

I Will Be There
Everytime I Look at You
I Still Love You
