A critic writing in the liner notes for Dusty Springfield’s greatest hits wondered if You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me was the first power ballad. The way Dusty reads it off I kinda thought ‘yeah’!

Cannot list them, but Finnish metal band Nightwish has some good ones.

Call it Wagnerian Metal....

Ironically, one of the first power ballads was in 1972 - The Carpenters song, “Goodbye to Love” that featured a Fuzz/Heavy Metal-esque Guitar solo that was very “un-Carpenter-like”.

"Winds of change - The Scorpions"

"Still Loving You" is in my top 5 power ballads. Amazing lyrical voice and guitar bridge. It may be at the top after Hysteria.

"You stole mine, “I Wanna know What Love Is.” I love that song!"

Yup. The rare times I play that song, it chokes me up.
