Dr. Kenneth Noisewater wrote: Whitesnake Here I Go Again? Would “I Want to Know What Love Is” count? Also, Every Rose Has it’s Thorn is the correct answer to the best, which is amazing because I think Poison is terrible. |

I think the crux of it is that in some way, we all love terrible music. Also, Free Bird is the answer to the second worst song of all time. Hey Jude is worse. |

I always made my break up songs be more like fuck you, you fucking prick songs. I always knew I could do better or at least show that asshole I could, it didn't matter who I was with. I didn't have many of them, I didn't date much. My most memorable one was Fantasy by George Michael. It was the only time my heart was broken without seeing it coming. Every Rose has it's Thorn will always be one of my favorites but I never let myself be that sad. |

So many songs I connect with certain things from girls to sports teams to parties. Every time I hear Hotel California I am taken back to high school and our baseball trips. The best player on our team loved that song and we listened to it on the bus during every trip. Music definitely makes a connection with you in your soul that never leaves. |

Unfortunately we got back together and I was a bit more heartbroken following the subsequent breakup as evidenced by an attachment to “Separate Ways” by Journey. |

Not my thing but I was just guessing who Spaulding might be talking about. |

I never had a later serious breakup, I can't imagine putting myself out there for that. Love Lovin Touchin Squeezin by Journey. That's a good breakup song. |

Au contraire, that (along with Babe by Styx) were makeout songs when I was in H.S. Not because of the words but more because they were always on the radio. |

Does Freebird qualify? yeah Hey Jude not a ballad. Nor is Freebird. Warrant had a couple good ones. REO Speedwagon REO, Journey and other bands like them dont count. They dont produce the true power ballads that come from the hair band circuit. |

It's funny how you just want to hate a song...but it's so damn catchy you kinda love it. Every Rose and Wanted Dead Or Alive have that quality. |

Steelheart's I'll Never Let You Go might be the king of all power ballads. They really crank the cheese factor to warp 10 and its fantastic. |
