Eddie, I think I completely understand the task at hand.

To me one of the best timeless power ballad is "If" by the band Bread. It's beautifully done in so many different ways. It has such a gentle delivery that it would be hard to think this wouldn't be the number one power ballad of all time!

Now I have to wonder if you thought I was serious? Ok, some real contenders? There are SO many from that time.

Heaven - Bryan Adams.
Angle eyes - Steelheart
Close My Eyes Forever" - Lita Ford And Ozzy
I remember you - Skid Row
Faithfully - Journey (Although I think Why Can't this Night Go On Forever" is even stronger. Love the ending vocals)
Fly to the Angels - Slaughter
Winds of Change - Scorpions
Don't know what you got - Cinderella
Alone - Heart
High Enough - Damn Yankess

Just naming a few. As I said, there are many great power ballads from that era. I was lucky enough to grow up in it. Pick a band, go to track 4 and there it is.
