Members Austincowbell Posted May 7, 2010 Members Share Posted May 7, 2010 Any answer other than Sister Christian is wrong and I can prove it thusly: "Moterin"... we all know the word. We accept the word. We sing along with the word... yet: We've never used the word. We've never heard the word in any other context. I don't think that had been accomplished since Steve Miller's use of the term "pompatus" and that was just an ancillary verse word, not an integral part of the chorus.

Members Austincowbell Posted May 7, 2010 Members Share Posted May 7, 2010 No Journey on the list??? Didn't they invent the Hard Rock Ballad? I think Journey invented the Power Ballad but since they didn't have real "Hard Rock" songs they are exempt from the list. Plus, their hair was too small.

Motoring not moterin the song was wrote about his baby sister cruising up and down the main street of a small hick town. Just for your FYI, also I think the Beatles had a ton of hard rock ballads way before Santana's band decided to split and form Journey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care what some Juliard graduate wrote on the sheet music, it's "Moterin". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care what some Juliard graduate wrote on the sheet music, it's "Moterin". All of your opinions are WRONG. It's 2 words, "motor" + "run". As in, Let your motor runWhat's the price for gasYou know that it won't lastcause OPEC's fallin fast.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vito Corleone Posted May 8, 2010 Members Share Posted May 8, 2010 Probably something written by Diane Warren. I'm going with the Aerosmith song from "Armageddon". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators MrKnobs Posted May 8, 2010 Moderators Share Posted May 8, 2010 I think the Beatles had a ton of hard rock ballads . The Beatles, hard rock? Which song(s)? Metallica = hard rock Beatles = Brit pop Right? Terry D. P.S. I'd also take issue with Night Ranger / Sister Christian being called hard rock.

Members flanc Posted May 8, 2010 Members Share Posted May 8, 2010 Dead or Alive is actually outcheesed by "I'll be there for you" as far as Bon Jovi goes. True but "Bed of Roses" might outcheese them both...maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tim_7string Posted May 8, 2010 Members Share Posted May 8, 2010 I'm going with "Here I Go Again" by Whitesnake, although "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" is a very close second. I do enjoy cheesing it up with "Rose" in my band, though. Always a dance floor filler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Austincowbell Posted May 8, 2010 Members Share Posted May 8, 2010 True but "Bed of Roses" might outcheese them both...maybe. it really boils down to one line from each song I'll be the water when you get thirsty babyWhen you get drunk, I'll be the wine VS I wanna be just as close as your Holy Ghost isAnd lay you down on a bed of roses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members wades_keys Posted May 10, 2010 Members Share Posted May 10, 2010 I think Journey invented the Power Ballad but since they didn't have real "Hard Rock" songs they are exempt from the list. "Chain Reaction""Separate Ways/Worlds apart""Walks Like a Lady" All harder rocking than any Bon Jovi, plus Neal Schon smokes Sambora like Bob Marley smokes a joint. And that's leaving aside the B-sides and their earlier work without Perry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
