Really a lot of bad music in here. Isn't that the point? I don't think we are talking about our favorite "good" power ballads, right? Any list that includes Bon Jovi and Foriegner "I Want to Know What Love Is" has to suck right?
Also:

Since I've Been Loving You
Bridge of Sighs
Voodoo Child
Echoes
I Want You (She's So Heavy)
Power Ballad...I've always laughed at that term.
Call it what it is,songs to get chicks to buy the record!!
This term came out of the 80's hair band era.
I'm pretty sure Floyd,Hendrix and Trower would not like to be included in this bunch.This is just my opinion on the subject,everyone is entitled to their own.
Journey - Who't Crying Now (always liked Schon's simple but beautiful solo on this one)
ZZ Top - Rough Boy
Joe Satriani - Always With Me Always With You (not sure if it counts)
Def Leppard - Hysteria
Aerosmith - What it Takes
Wind of Change - Scorpions
Behind Blue Eyes - Who
Long Goodbyes - Camel
Babe I'm Going to Leave You - Zeppelin
When I'm With You - Sheriff

BTW, Andrew Latimer's guitar lead at the end of "Long Goodbyes" is perhaps my favorite of all time. IT takes a tune that is already soaring at that point to an ever higher stratospheric level that is hard to match.
