Almost anything by Journey
All Cried Out is also a great one to sing to, as is Beth
Total Eclipse of the Heart - Bonnie Tyler (I don't allow myself to sing that in front of anyone - no one wants to hear Julie Andrews trying to sing Bonnie Tyler)

Joan Jett's cover of "Crimson and Clover" and (I can’t believe no one has said it yet) “Every Rose Has Its Thorn” by Poison.
I’m not quite sure it meets the criteria of "Power Ballads," but the all-time best song for riding in your car late at night with the stereo cranked up…Heart’s ”All I Wanna Do Is Make Love to You” (and have your baby, and not tell you...).

No one has mentioned Pour Some Sugar on Me by Def Leppard?
That was my pre-teen sleepaway camp anthem (disturbingly).

Winger's power ballads would have been 'Headed For A Heartbreak' and 'Miles Away.'
'Pour Some Sugar On Me' wasn't a power ballad, probably explaining why no one has mentioned it.
Also 'I Remember You' by Skid Row is worthy of mention.
