Only because about six of the American Idol male contestants sang it on the show.

DennisMM wrote:How 'bout "Don't Cry" by Guns N' Roses? The instrumentation is harder than the average power ballad, but in every other respect I think it meets the requirements. If not that, certainly "November Rain."

'since you've been gone' - Rainbow
I'm forgetting a really great whitesnake song that is a ballad though, and that one by foreigner 'I wanna know what love is'... Hopefully this will be the Ballad section, and the one that wins can face off against another seminal cheesey rock song... to take the crown of cheesiest rock song of all time....

If Silent Lucidity had been recorded by Pink Floyd for Division Bell, it wouldn't have seemed out of place in the least.

Hahahahahahahaha...you don't know how many guys have come up to me, heard my name and went "So, heard the KISS song?" It's then usually followed up by "Ha, I bet guys sing that to you all the time."
Not one ever has. Not one.
I wish one would have the cajones.
