Ratt, Cinderelle, Poison and the crew down....now we just need Tesla, Dokken and Winger to complete the cheese pie...although Tesla was the best of the bunch

Warrant, Twisted Sister and White Snake.

Skid Row

The problem is is that I have no idea what a power ballad is.

Perhaps, but you've listened to so many by this point.

By now, the labelling is a bit stupid, really.

I've been demoted to a noun now?!


The problem is is that I have no idea what a power ballad is.

The definition of a ballad is just simply a form of verse, usually set to music (in most cases, love songs). Power ballads are simply ballads delivered in a heavy "rock" method. If you hear a hair metal band doing a love song that is slower than most of their songs, it is most likely a power ballad.

Power ballad is often synonymous with "cheesy" . There are some very non-cheesy power ballads out there, though.

That singer makes me feel confident about my singing skills (which are nonexistent, in case you're wondering). He truly might be the worst I've ever listened to, and I've listened to a lot of 'em. Otherwise, super excited to get some more 80s hair metal!

Why is it when people say this, I think of Cypress Hill?

[Meat-Popsicle]

I predicted: an artist with several top-10 singles (from one of the Billboard charts) over a course of 10 years.
We got: an artist with 3 total top-10 singles (from the Mainstream Rock chart) over a span of 4 years.

Close enough! Welcome to Rock Band, Cinderella. I probably won't be buying this pack myself, but I completely agree that adding more hair metal was a solid move by Harmonix.

meh.

yay for hair metal. unfortunately, i find these tracks to be a little too much hair and not enough RAWK! pass.

I don't care for the band, or the vocal style, but it is worth noting that it does take a degree of ability to be able to sing in that style, and maintain it for an entire show... and for 20 years. It's not nearly as easy as it sounds.

It's like when people criticize the Bee Gee's vocal style (note: I'm not actually comparing the two, as the Bee Gee's are much more skilled vocalists). To call it annoying is fair, absolutely, but to call it talentless is something else; it is not easy at all.

80's power ballads....yeeeeeeeaaaaahhhh I'll pass.
