I'm never entirely sure what qualifies. Probably The Replacements - Unsatisfied

closest thing I could find to being a cross between a mallard and an 80s power ballad

I'm not familiar with many Ballards, let alone powerful ones from the 80s. Taking a very quick look at the Wikipedia list (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballard_%28surname%29), I think Samuel James Ballard (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_James_Ballard) might be a good pick. As a Vice-Admiral in the Royal Navy he was probably powerful. He was active in the 1780s and it looks like he had several notable military achievements during his service at that time.

These guys probably weren't around in the 80s, but if you want modern power ballards, you likely can't go wrong with Ballard Power Systems (http://www.ballard.com/).

...ahem. On topic, though:

(OK, the latter is technically 90s)
Edit: Somehow I had never heard Alice Cooper's Poison before. That is a most interesting and elegant set of chord progressions.

There is only one correct answer.

Man... I couldn't even pick out a top 10, much less a top 5 or even a "best"...
I mean, I've always been partial to Meatloaf and "I'd do anything for love (but I won't do that)"... but can you argue with a Poison pick? Queen? REO Speedwagon? Whitesnake? Styx?
I mean, the list, it just goes on and on...
-
Although I suppose Meatloaf's best is actually early 90's. Still... So Damn good.

I always liked how "Sister Christian" begins and ends real slow. That is fine hump-shaped song right there.
I can't really think of Queen doing power ballads. "Who Wants to Live Forever" does swell magnificently, though I do get tired of that song after about 45 seconds.
And, well, "Total Eclipse of the Heart." It redefines bombastic.
