I'm not so sure I've heard either. I've probably not heard 1/3 of the songs on this list. ;o)

Can't believe "Alone Again" by Dokken isn't on that list. After all, it was one of the first REAL power ballads!

I am, actually, but some of these songs suck and there are some genuinely good ones left out.
