When rock singers in the 80s needed a way to show their sensitive side but still keep their edge, they did it through the power ballad: A slow tempo song that featured loud drums, piano and heavy electric guitars. Get your bottle of non-aerosol hairspray, your prom dress and boutonniere ready, as John and Steve discuss some of the best from the greatest decade.
Songs discussed include: “Almost Paradise,” “Straight From the Heart,” “Open Arms,” “These Dreams,” “Is This Love?” “What Does It Take” by Honeymoon Suite, and a number of others.
