Power ballads originated in the 1970s with Power pop band the Raspberries and arena rock bands like Styx, Boston, REO Speedwagon and Journey. Early examples of power ballads are Don't Wanna Say Goodbye from the Raspberries' debut album in 1972, The Raspberries, and Styx's "Lady" from their 1973 album Styx II. As a solo artist, Raspberries lead singer and chief songwriter Eric Carmen continued to conribute to the genre by creating the #2 hit All By Myself in 1976, which was subsequently covered by artists such as Shirley Bassey, Celine Dion, and El Divo.
Later development of the style from the mid-1980s to the early 1990s is exemplified by such hits as Scorpions' "Still Loving You", Dokken's "Alone Again"; and Skid Row's "I Remember You".
For some 1970s arena rock artists, the power ballad was also responsible for helping to revive their careers in the 1980s; examples include Heart's "These Dreams" and Cheap Trick's "The Flame".
The term "power ballad" is still used to this day in reference to songs such as Avril Lavigne's "I'm with You", Lifehouse's "Hanging by a Moment", Kelly Clarkson's "Because of You", or Velvet Revolver's "Fall to Pieces", and other such works.

Still Loving You by the Scorpions. Great music, great lyrics and great video, I mean, for an 80s video. Magnificent song. Love it to this day.

I was going to say "Every Rose has its Thorn" by Poison, but then I saw Silent Lucidity. Good Choice there.
