1980s Power Ballads: A Celebration of the Greatest Anthems - Part Six

[@fbcreativemedia]

A great Foreigner ballad, also my favorite song by them. "I Dont Wanna Live Without You"

[@fbcreativemedia]

Just Getting Started is a PHENOMENAL Album!!!!!!

[@andrewparker272]

It really is, I tell anyone who will listen to me about Loverboy that if they haven’t heard “Just Getting Started” they are missing out.

[@AlphaAstraAqua]

“Angel” was released as a single in January 1988

[@fbcreativemedia]

its fitting that this ws todays episode. Reckless released 40 years ago today

[@AlphaAstraAqua]

Lou Gramm’s “Midnight Blue” reached the #5 position on Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and reached number one on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Charts.

[@AlphaAstraAqua]

The first cassingle was “Heat Of The Night” by Bryan Adams.

Just Getting Started is Loverboy’s second best album.

[@andrewparker272]

Love that album!

[@andrewparker272]

What would you consider their best? Get Lucky?

[@AlphaAstraAqua]

@ absolutely. The album would have been even better if they had replaced “Emotional” with any other song.

[@andrewparker272]

@@AlphaAstraAquaI actually agree with you on this. I always skipped Emotional. But the rest of Get Lucky is perfect!

I had none those albums, Andy! 😂😂😂

@tummytwins you really need to discuss ballads vs. power ballads. For instance, When The Children Cry by White Lion is a straight up ballad. Sister Christian by Night Ranger is a power ballad!!

[@BBKlima]

Meh....... Not a big fan of any of these songs...... Except I Want To Know What Love Is. But, to me it's more a straight up ballad, not much power
