I think The Scorpions invented the power ballad.
Life's Like a River from In Trance and Always Somewhere from Lovedrive were early indicators of their evolution.

The point still stands: HSH is not legit at all, as it is for sure a top 10 most famous PB of all time.
You're All I Need, on the other hand, is downright obscure.

There's lots of confusion in this thread, as very few actually offered real answers. The following are NOT under-rated - they are vastly, properly rated!
I agree with your points, except for Saigon Kick Love is on the way not being underrated.

The only reason that I’ve posted any “rated” songs is on the off chance I get someone to hear a good song that they haven’t heard before.

I will not approve Buckcherry for inclusion in 80s/90s power ballads - and certainly not this one. If I were going to allow an entrant from them, it would be this:
