    I'm making a power ballads playlist for NYE and I'm after some suggestions for any obvious classics currently missing. So far I have:

    You're The Voice - John Farnham
    Here I go again - Whitesnake
    Total Eclipse of the Heart - Bonnie Tyler
    Kayleigh - Marillion
    More than a feeling - Boston
    Kyrie - Mr Mister
    Since you've been gone - Rainbow
    Alone - Heart
    The Best - Tina Turner
    Africa- Toto
    We Built this city - Starship
    I want to know what love is - Foreigner
    Cant fight this feeling - REO Speedwagon
    Wind of change - The Scorpions
    St Elmo's Fire - John Parr
    Broken Wings - Mr Mister
    The Final Countdown - Europe
    Lavender - Marillion
    Nothings gonna stop us now - Starship
    Don't stop believin - Journey

    I'm thinking maybe a bit of Def Leppard, perhaps Pour Some Sugar On Me, but any other suggestions most welcome.

    With Arms Wide Open by Creed.

    It's ****ing awful, so should fit in nicely with your other songs.

    If you like that sort of ****, just buy any of Jeremy Clarkson's CD compilations.

    Who said I liked it? It's an ironic pisstake.

    It's all the rage with the hipsters you know.

    I did consider that but it's just a little slow for NYE, at least the slower ones I have like Wind of Change do kick in a bit. And have a good whistle solo.

    Speaking of solos, how good is the bagpipe on You're The Voice?

    Sounds like a thrilling NYE party...

    Not.

    Start it off with Gold Rush by Danny Byrd and the Brookes brothers.

    There's my tip, treasure it. That song is gold dust.
