But I REALLY dislike G&N, so Sister Christian it is for me.

dunno.
I consider the Power Ballad to be a distinctly American thang...like jazz, but with a lot more suck.

Either way, I have to vote Sister Christian...

DennisMM wrote:"Don't Cry" is just so over the top, especially the video, that I had to choose Axl's shakiness. "Sister Christian" is so clean and pure that I've always hated it. I also hated that every fifteen year old girl in America adored it and so I heard it ten times a day no matter where I was. Also, I can't make heads or tails of the lyrics of "Sister Christian."
