Tesla Love song is must.
ummm....how about...Mama I'm coming home? by Ozzy? I like it...not really an 80's power ballad, but close....

We've missed two super-dooper ones...:

Bon Jovi -Bed Of Roses
Def Leppard-Bringing On The Heartbreak

Well I think Wanted dead or alive is a little more main stream. as far as Def Leppard what do you think about, Two step behind from the (Last action hero) sound-track

Yeah, but the piano part can easily be transcribed to be played on the guitar.

Hmmm... does GNR's "Patience" or "Sweet Child o' Mine" count as 80's? I can't remember when they came out. I get a lot of requests for Patience when I'm playing.

Has "Every Rose has it's Thorn" been mentioned yet? I believe that was the anthem of the 80s.

How about "When I See You Smile?" by Bad English or "Home Sweet Home" by Motley Crue?

Sweet Child Of Mine was on "Appetite" which would make it...1986 I think.

I dont know if Every Rose has it's thorn was suggested, but there was a "NO POISON" Rule
