Focusing on everything that is actually something, Information<br> that actually Informs, Matters that actually Matters.

Anyways, let me get started with this blog that will kill all blogs so do speak, I just happened to tune in to Vh1 Classics, and they were showing this documentary (they sadly and cleverly called it 'rockUmentary') about Heavy Metal entitled <em>Heavy,</em> and it was quite good compared to the other hundreds of documentaries I have seen.<br />I especially enjoyed the part when they talked about the era of the power ballads and how it signaled the end of it all; I especially liked the part when they were interviewing the lead singer of Twisted Sisters, uh it was just... just... just timeless; I wish everyone can see it an feel the way that Twisted Sister was feeling toward Power Ballads, quite frankly I think that he would have felt a lot less bitter if he just created a power ballad that was actually a hit. Anyways, here is my top 10 Power Ballads of All Time... Ballads other than <em>Motley Crue's </em>Home Sweet Home, <em>Skidrow's </em>I Remember You or <em>Journey's </em>Open Arms, you know... Power Ballads rarely heard.<br /><br /><br /><big>Top 10. </big><br /><big></big><br /><big><span style="font-size:100%;">Bryan Adams - Heaven</span></big><br /><big><span style="font-size:100%;"></span></big><br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><big>Considered to be by many as the power of ballads and also considered to be by most hardcore to be non-metal. He made the list because he certainly helped the ballads genre, and in doing so, helped put out the fire. Heaven.</big><br /></span><br /><object height="355" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/WmAwJ55ekio&amp;rel=1"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/WmAwJ55ekio&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object><br /><br />Top 9.<br /><br />Bon Jovi - Always<br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Well, what is there to talk about when it comes to power ballads.
