Answer: Lord Tracy

Lord Tracy was a somewhat supergroup that consisted of Terry Glaze from Pantera as lead singer and members of Black Oak Arkansas.

The final track on Scorpions' 1988 album "Savage Amusement" was the power ballad, "Believe In Love".

Answer: Saigon Kick

Technically "Love Is On The Way" wasn't an 80s power ballad, it was released in 1992. But the sound and style captured that magical era beautifully.

Answer: Poison

Poison's second album, "Open Up And Say Ahh", was the biggest moment of their career. The hits on the release included "Every Rose Has A Thorn", "Nothin' But A Good Time", and "Fallen Angel".
