Rock Ballads.... Grab your lighter and sway to the music

Rock Ballads, those power love songs that make you break out your perfect air guitar and imagine you are in the arena with your lighter held up high, swaying to the music and singing the words with 20,000 other people. They are the songs that make us stop and crank up the radio when we are searching for a station that's not playing the same song over and over. They take you back to your first love, first kiss or first heartbreak. What are your favorites? Here are a few of ours to get your creative juices flowing.

Journey - Open Arms

From Journeys 1981 album Escape, and the bands highest charting single. Surely everyone of us lucky enough to have grown up in or have parents who did, know the words to this song. Our proms, school dances, and wedding receptions were filled with couples swaying to this song. Come on and sing along ...

Bon Jovi - I'll be there for you

From the bands 4th album New Jersey. Imagine Jon Bon Jovi in a leather over coat with sunglasses and a bandanna, and Joe playing a double neck guitar. Girls screaming, lighters flaring, and you with your best air guitar.  Yes Chloe this is a power ballad.

Staind- Its been a while

From the bands 3rd album Break The Cycle in 2001. Its Staind and Aaron Lewis... Do we need to say more?  Aaron's voice defines the emotion and the sound defines the soul of this song. This is modern day realism.

What are your favorites?  We want to know!!   Until next time.........
