Power Ballad of the Day September 11th

Today's epic:

Slaughter - Fly To The Angels

Led by pretty-boy Mark Slaughter, this bunch of bandwagon-jumpers really only had two hits, one of them being this very formulaic power ballad. Many questions arise from the accompanying video, such as but not limited to, why are they in a hangar? The metaphor for "flying to the angels" gets kind of thick, dontcha' think? Also, why are the screaming groupies/fans chanting the title of their OTHER hit?

.....inquiring minds want to know...

    "Slaughter" is not the name of a power ballad producing band!

    Still waiting for my power ballad favorites ;)

    Can't have such a list without "Love Bites". ;)

    ...if so, the very list itself would bite, right?

    Definitely.

    Waiting for a few other songs as well; we'll see if they show up ;)

    Fly to the Angels is the chosen ballad for 9/11?

    ...coincidentally, yes.

    No conscious thought behind it being the song of just today though
