"F.I.N.E.", "eat the rich", "love in an elevator", etc all sound like powerballads to you?Quote

He has a point...singles since 1993:
1993: "Cryin'", No. 12
1994: "Amazing", No. 24
1994: "Crazy", No. 17
1997: "Falling in Love (Is Hard on the Knees)", No. 35
1998: "Pink", No. 27
1998: "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing", No. 1
2001: "Jaded", No. 7

"angel" was 1987 but sorry the record label is smart enough to release the ballads as singles to sell albums...

I don't care what the record label wants to sell -- I just don't want the exact same power ballad over & over. They all really sound like "Angel", don't they? Meaning "Crying", "Amazing", "Crazy", "Don't Want To Miss a Thing" etc...
Stones have fallen into the same trap w/ Streets Of Love, Following The River, Out Of Tears ... all sounding basically like Almost Hear You Sigh ... but at least the Stones only include 1/album.
** edit ** btw, I agree that Pink does not fall into that category. I love that tune!
