What are some popular hair metal ballads that you hate?

[SunsetHoliday]

I'm not sure I have any.  There are ballads that I have to be in the mood for (Bon Jovi's I'll Be There For You comes to mind), but there are none that I outright hate to the point that I always skip them when they come up.

I fucking hate GNR, cant stand Hanoi Rocks, dont much care for Bon Jovi after 7800, really couldnt stand Whitesnake, only liked a couple Poison songs, Crisis Party was the worst band on the planet.

Y&T "Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark"

Maybe I just grew tired of the Y&T.

Thanks man.  Because of this post, now I'm nauseous, too.  What a horrible song.

Yep. Fully dreadful. Get to fuck. But the chicks loved it. 

[Leykis101]

You know Dusty I do like 1 Poison song, Cry Tough, and I do like the album Native Tongue, I thought Richie Kotzen took Poison to a different level, I dont know if you would classify Until You Suffer Some (Fire & Ice) as a ballad, but I truly dig that song, it's not the usual garbage Poison would put out.

I skip most ballads so I can't really comment 🤣🤣 There are however a few magnificent ballads which are among my fav songs ever

Yup. The Magnificent has a great ballad.

As per usual, a lot of people are confused about what a Power Ballad is.

Cant it just be about ballads, power or otherwise, "softer" songs, usually about love or heartbreak 😉

I know exactly what a power ballad is, the question wasnt ballad specific

Oh I fuckin love the magnificents ballads, for my money you cant find a better band doing ballads

[CureTheSane]

I've always considered power ballads to kind of be like 'anthem ballads'
