Power Ballads

Power Ballads came into being in the 1980s. Was it a deathnail in metal's coffin or was it a natural progression? The music industry was changing in the 80s - why shouldn't metal change?

Punk had evolved into the New Romantic movement and metal bands were showing off their softer sides.

Power Ballads - Good or Evil?

During the 1980s most metal bands were releasing power ballads as a way to make the top 40. They got a lot of new fans this way, but some of the die-hard metal fans were disappointed feeling that the bands had sold out.

Power ballads were huge however and always saw the lighters come out at concerts - I must admit I love power ballads.

According to a number of articles I have seen Motley Crue's Home Sweet Home was the first power ballad aired on MTV. Check it out in our video section.
