I will obviously have to append this post as to list my favorite 80's ballads could take awhile (admittedly I am a ballad junkie, it's been pointed out, that I hadn't realized much of my favorite music no matter the type seems geared towards the sad/lost love song. So I should be REALLY into country!)

But the fist to pop into my head.

I'm sure I could think of more I like but this should be enough for now Grin
Told you I was a ballad junkie!


just remembered more...
Night Ranger - When You Close Your Eyes
Journey - Lights

Going through your lists I found more I loved but didn't recognize by name, or just hadn't heard in a long time.
Like the Men At Work song Overkill,  I should have it on CD but missed it being there because the title didn't ring a bell.
Seeing Restless Heart had me looking up the lyrics for a sing through as it's been years and I found another I forgot about...

Restless Heart - A Tender Lie Edit another one....Restless Heart - I'll Still Be Loving You
So many forgotten songs....hope more people post more songs!!!!!!
