A movie like Brainscan is unique. The characters in this film only exist in the time that the movie was made. Brainscan can almost be called a period film today due to its embracing the troubled...

TLDNR REVIEW: “Amazing Spider-Man” is almost good, just like powdered mashed potatoes are almost real.
Look, guys. I realize that anyone that is reading this review has already made up their...
- I can certainly UNDERSTAND where it would lose its appeal after being played 500 times
- I know that the artist rubs many people the wrong way
- I hold no illusion that this is anything more than a novelty song.
All that said, having heard this once, and thinking Toby Keith probably is an OK guy on a personal level, he should just never speak in public, I thought this tune was a good fun:
These days, I'm pretty much only interested in either what Patton Oswalt calls "blasty-ass, gut-bucket rock n' roll" or 80's New Wave. Even the revival stuff like M83 or Chromatics.
My problem is that generally if I like a song that I know I shouldn't like I actively avoid learning about it. No song titles, no artist names... nothing. The song will appear on the radio and I'll say "Oh, I like that song." and then I forget it ever happened. I like one of those songs by a guy that isn't Jason Mraz, but I always think it is. Oddly, then Jason Mraz sings a song that always seems like it's going to turn in to the song I like but never does and I don't like that song.
If Jason Mraz's last name was Peterson, no one would care who he was.
First off I like Kiefer's voice. He sounds like Janis Joplin singing hard rock. He can also play lead and rhythm guitar, piano and saxophone. I'll be seeing them June 23rd and I can't wait!
While I like the Scorpions a lot, I can't stand Winds of Change.
I think you're missing the point of a "power ballad" - "Separate Ways" isn't very ballady, "More Than Words Can Say" doesn't have much power.
IMO a power ballad is best explained by saying you'd feel like an idiot trying to headbang during the verse, but feel like an idiot for NOT headbanging during the chorus.
So if, say, Heart's "Alone" ISN'T the best one out there, it's a fine exemplar (I guess I'd probably nominate "Fly to the Angels" or "Never Let You Go" as most exemplary power ballads).
The problem with Asian pop is I honestly have no idea how to judge if it's considered "bad" or not. I mean, I know that "Muskrat Love" is bad because for God's sake it's a tender ballad about rodents having sex, but is this even "bad?" I DO NOT KNOW. But I do know that I dig it:
I am assuming Cheap Trick is posted here just to illustrate your "best power ballad ever" point, because you had best not be insinuating they are bad (other than that "Don't Be Cruel" cover), otherwise it's gonna get ugly.

Only knowing the context and the English bits, I can guarantee this is a bad song, because they are singing about Intel processors ("my deep love core.")
And yet? Still find it catchy. Pretty girls singing and dancing to a song about microprocessors? It's like a clip from my 14-year-old subconscious.
Well... this thread certainly exploded. Anyway, I will defend Huey Lewis and the News to my dying breath, especially "The Power of Love". That's fucking epic.
Earlier in this thread the soundtrack for Flash Gordon came up. I feel no shame in admitting I love that CD and the movie as well!
I do have one problem with the soundtrack. The change the line Flash Gordon you've saved your Earth. Have a nice day to Hail Flash Gordon. Savior of the universe.
