Power Ballad of the Day September 3rd

Today: "Open Your Heart" by Europe:



The obvious choice would've been "Carrie", but frankly I think a) this song is better, and that b) Kee Marcello (or Kjell Lövbom as his real name is) is a vastly superior guitar player to John Norum. The video hardly does the song justice, with its generic "band playing in a warehouse/dimly lit stage" theme.

    Good thing you got going there, chief. But I guess there isn't going to be many songs for me to comment on...

    Well, I must say I'm impressed of the concept, with only one song per band and only "true" powerballads. Good luck you, sir.

    Thanks so much.

    For whatever reason I think I'll never see a t-shirt with the words "True Power Ballads" on it
