Quicksand Jesus by Skid Row is my #1 from that era

Does Jet City Woman count as a power ballad? If so, that's #2

Hysteria By Def Leppard is 3

I guess I'm misunderstanding "power ballad", because a lot of these are just pop songs.

I take "power ballad" to be a song by a predominantly rock/metal band and/or a ballad with a heavy emphasis on a crunchy chorus and/or guitar solo.

I think most associate the term with a ballad from any of these cheeseball hair metal bands of the 80s.. and yes, they were mainly pop songs.. that said, there are a few irresistible cheesy gems in that genre...

You're not. People have lost the plot.
