80's Power Ballad Contest: Twilight Edition


Introducing the 80's Power Ballad Song Prompt Contest
Twilight Edition

We've all heard the ever popular and sometimes cheesy power ballads from the 80's, right? The ones with a sappy love story, or sad heartbreak story told from our favorite, big haired and make-up wearing rockers.

Well this contest is all about those famous power ballads we all love to secretly indulge in. From REO Speedwagon, Journey, Foreigner, Cinderella, Twisted Sister, KISS, and even Bon Jovi, if you're an eighties kid you've heard them all.

Choose your favorite 80's power ballad and use it as your story prompt. Should be easy, right? Most of those songs tell the story themselves. All you need to do is give it a twilight twist.

  1. It's a great list but there are some bands/songs that don't fit Power Ballad's. The Bangles, Toto's "Africa", "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us now." Ozzy's "Shot In The Dark." Power Ballad's are love songs by male heavy metal hair bands.
