Power Ballad Bracket - Lipstick For Boys 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.)

Would rather Goodbye to Romance than Mama I'm Coming Home from Ozzy, but fine - your bracket, your songs.

You didn't specify which version of Don't Cry (Illusion I or II)

Metallica just doesn't belong on any list with power ballads.

Nobody's Fool was one of the first tunes I learned to play on guitar, and the arpeggio pattern used to be my breathing pattern during cross-country races.

I argued against Metallica being included.  But, if you ask a woman if they know any Metallica, it will most likely be that one.

And cool fact on the arpeggio.

You're hanging with the wrong women...  Mine know One, Master of Puppets, Fade to Black, Fuel, and The Memory Remains \m/

All the ones I know know all those songs and more.  I was talking about your average, not much in to Metallica and their ilk, kind of woman.

"Nothing Else Matters" is getting waaaaaaay too much support

That's what happens when you put 'Satan,' against, 'God.'
