Debatably coming from the rock scene of the early 1970s, the power ballad had been a radio mainstay ever since. They are generally characterized by an emotional theme, a slow start that builds in power, and some killer electric guitar riffs. The Geek Salad crew have returned to go over some of their favorites in episode 249: Love Bheits. Join Andy, Mike, Joe, and Katherine as they discuss some power ballads which live rent-free in their heads, but not in an annoying-ear-worm way. Which group gets the most references? Will Katherine somehow manage to bring up the Muppets? Listen in to find out!
