The power of cheese

Who doesn’t love a good power ballad?

Power ballads bring all the feels in the cheesiest way. And if you’re sentimental like I am, you want your feels as cheesy as possible.

The best power ballads are hyper-emotional rock songs that are over the top big! Big sounds, big emotions, big hair. They must be just the right tempo for slow dancing or dramatically falling in heap. And there has to be a crescendo. This is crucially important to drown out the sound of your audible wailing as you lament your lost love.

If you're an 80's kid, this playlist is dripping with nostalgia. Padded out with a Wham! song or two, some Spandau Ballet and Madonna's 'Like a Prayer' this would have been the playlist of choice for 10 year old me. 

So if you’re looking for something to belt out your lungs to… or hanging for a good cry, this playlist has got you covered. 

Get ready to get down and cheesy!
