Run The Jewels - Close Your Eyes (And Count To F**k) feat. Zack de la Rocha

This is typical old skool rap fare and it’s really great. F-Bombs, guys rapping so fast they are barely understandable – yeah I loved it!

Necro

In 21st place with 4 points

Deja Boo

Cruisin - Smokey Robinson

Unfortunately this didn’t grab me at all, too slow and sombre.

Necro

In 2nd place with 21 points

Green&Red

Public Enemy - Harder than you think

Really loved this entry, it was top for a long time before I gave into my... ahem, my more carnal urges. Just really powerful.

Necro

In 22nd place with 3 points

Tusk

The Eagles - Wasted Time

While the effort is admirable..ish, this is clearly not suited to the category and thus must finish last.

The Ballybrack rap would have been a better call here :P

Tusk should win the game for that submission alone

Tune.

Clarabel

The Monster - Rihanna/Eminem

Haha, again with the throwing enough erm… ok ok. Great track and this is Eminem in full flight, it’s a really fun listen. Rihanna isn’t half bad to look at either

After all the gritty and urban tracks, whilst I enjoyed them it was nice to find solace in a fabulously produced track between two huge artists.

And duly, it got top marks. The video is cool too, a nice throwback to some of Eminem’s bigger hits spliced through it.

Green&Red

It’s full duck or no dinner with Clara

Round 10 coming up in about... oh I dunno....

TEN minutes!!!

Necro

No soppy love songs here, I wanted songs that made you want to drop to your knees and just sing at the top of your lungs! Final round here, and the one I was most looking forward to I have to say, let’s finish strong folks!!


Some of my favourites below:

One song was picked a massive THREE times in this round :eek:

Necro

Soooooooooo

On the plus side, all the songs here were absolutely awesome


EXCEPT ONE.

I decided to break from normal tradition and give it just one point as opposed to 3 when we have a few duplicates.

Tbh, if I could give it MINUS points I'd have done so. But more on that later.

Necro

In 19th place with 6 points

Cher - If I Could Turn Back Time

Hmmm, not quite sure it fits what I’m thinking about when it comes to power ballads if I’m totally honest. In any case, I just don’t like this song all that much. It's perfectly fine but Cher really doesn't sing, more warbles.

Soz not soz :P

Necro

In 18th place with 7 points

Arghus

Cemetary Gates – Pantera

I just didn’t feel this fitted the category in the way I had envisioned unfortunately. It is a decent song but I just don’t see it as a power ballad.

But, but, but, it's a ballad that emphasises power!

The purple tin

Judas Priest: Beyond The Realms of Death

Oh yeah, now we are getting somewhere. Sheer force of awesomeness pushed this down the list as I very much enjoyed it.

Green&Red

Judging on your blurb there this is not going to end well

Necro

In 16th place with 9 points

Kolido

Warrent - Heaven

Haha, trust the entrant to pull out a classic 80s track I strangely hadn’t heard. Nice choice dude.

Thinking the same here.

Gru

Velvet Revolver - Fall to pieces

Oh hello Slash, you just know this is gonna have the epic guitar solos that I love. Another fine choice.

Necro

In 14th place with 11 points

Rikand

Elbow : One Day Like This

This was also entered into my previous Walrus and I think I did it a misjustice. The start is very slow but you cannot help belting out that chorus and yeah, I really enjoy this now.

Necro

In 13th place with 12 points

Sawduck

REO Speedwagon - Can't Fight This Feeling

Ara lookit thou must not diss REO Speedwagon! But seriously this is just a great track and an atypical power ballad.

Necro

In 12th place with 13 points

Reberetta

Bad English - When I See You Smile

Another track I hadn’t heard of and I’m glad it was entered. Perfect fit for this category too.

Whitesnake - Here I Go Again

This is absolutely what I’m ruddy looking for. The type of song that just forces you onto your knees, clenching your fists whilst you scream the chorus!

Nobody light a fag! There's so much hairspray in this thread the whole site would go up like a bomb :pac:

Aerosmith - I Don't Want to Miss a Thing

I mean, you cannot get much better fitting of a category selection than this one can you? So good not one, not two, but THREE people all picked it. Very Nice picking!

Necro

In 7th place with 16 points

ShaneU

Aerosmith - Crazy

Hard to say whether Bon Jovi or Aerosmith are the kings of the power ballad… erm… MeatLoaf aside of course. But this is just a classic song that is on my regular playlist. The video too… hold me! It’s glorious!!

Necro

In 6th place with 17 points

Irish Aris

Skid Row-18 and Life

Fab song to pull out of the bag here, really really enjoyable and I’m loving that my knowledge of power ballads is clearly incomplete!

Alone - Heart

Incredible track, one of my all time faves. Great entry and perfect for this category.
