Besides hairbands lacking in RB,this game needs a serious dose of some slower songs/power ballads,because you know people like to slow things down once in awhile.Which songs would you want to see?

I know i missed a bunch of classics but im limited to 10 options,so of its not on the poll just tell us.

Decent enough poll,though i dont know how well Ballads would go over with alot of people.If i had to choose something besides whats on that list i'd pick these:

Is This Love-Whitesnake

Wasted Time-Skid Row

I Still think About You-Danger Danger

One Thing-Finger Eleven

Far Behind-Candlebox

Summertime?- Kid Rock's newest song,just saw the video,not sure if its a ballad,maybe more slow southern rock.

Why not Home Sweet Home by Motley Crue? That was the original power ballad.

"Spend your days full of emptiness!
Spend your years full of loneliness!
Wasting love in a desperate caress!
Rolling shadows of nights!"

Come on, how could you forget the greatest power ballad of all time?! "Wasting Love" by Iron Maiden ROCKS!

"Home Sweet Home" should have been on the list - that said, there are some excellent choices there and I voted for my favorites.

I agree it should have now that i think about it,its actually better than "without you" but like i said theres only 10 options so i posted up what first came to mind.But thanks for the input guys.

I'll say two things

1- Power ballads are terrible, no exception.

2 - We need at least three in Rock Band, because everyone can sing along to them and they'd be a smash hit, just like they were back in the days.

My personal pick would be I Remember You.

Wind Of Change by The Scorpions its a great power ballad and it has a good solo

I agree on both points. As terrible as these are, I could see people wanting to play them when they come over. I would add Scorpions "Still Loving You" to the mix. Seems to me The Scorps invented the power ballad and these guys copied.

What about some 90's power ballads? "If You Could Only See" by Tonic and "Inside Out" by Eve 6 come to mind, as does the band Vertical Horizon.

Well History, in the free world, is a science. Then again, in the US, it's more of an opinion, so I guess you have a point.
