Power Ballad Bracket - Aqua Net Region

[MetalDog]

It's March Madness time and there are brackets everywhere.  Everyone you know is filling one out.  And, inevitably, yours will be busted soon after the tourney starts.  So come inside and let your sorrow drain away with the Power Ballad Bracket!  Remember your youth and that special girl, or guy, you gave your heart to with these songs.  The rules are simple: 1 vote for each matchup.  Please vote once for each matchup.  Ties will go to the higher seed.  The choices are listed in seed order, from 1 to 16.  Each round ends the same time as the NCAA rounds do.  So, the first round ends Friday.  The second ends Sunday.  And at the end of the round, the results will be displayed and we will move on to the next round.  By the time the winners in the NCAA are cutting down the nets, we'll know which Power Ballad stands alone at the top!  So, pull up a chair, crank up the speakers and grab the hair spray and denim.  We're going ballading!

(And for those of you who may be interested, a small, select, panel came up with the entrants as well as the seeding.  If you don't agree, then vote for your favorite and hope it comes out on top.)


The 1/16 match

The 2/15

The 3/14

The 4/13

The 5/12

The 6/11

The 7/10

The 8/9

That's it for the Aqua Net Region.  Hope you enjoyed!

I voted for Here I Go Again, even tho it's nowhere near a power ballad (should've used "Is This Love" from that album - also a top 40 hit for them).

Anyone who votes for "More Than Words" gets banned from the site.   It's an overplayed pile of sexist twaddle that's not even the best ballad on that album, much less of all time...

Shouldn't there be some Boston or Meatloaf on this list?

if there's another 'region' coming - the 70s-Dinosaurs-who-won't-die-on-radio region or something - then you'll probably get Boston, Kansas, Meat Loaf, Led Zep, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Nazareth, Kiss, etc.

Any time you jokers want to make up your own bracket, I'll be glad to come and vote in it.  O0
