FWIW, it's a kick-ass album.

fall far and well Pilots!
Two songs I think qualify as "power ballads" are of course
Bush "Glycerine"
and Powderfinger "Waiting for the Sun"
and dare I suggest it, but I always thought Kurt Cobain's song "Heart Shaped Box" was as close as he'd ever get to writing a love song. I'm sure Kurt would love it being labelled a "power ballad" though

Acoustic version, but it's still a great PB:

I usually hate these things, but for some reason, I always liked Send Her My Love (Kip Winger) -- if that counts. I don't have a great understanding of what a typical PB is (other than "crap").
“...The conversations had a nightmare flatness, talking dice spilled in the tube metal chairs, human aggregates disintegrating in cosmic inanity, random events in a dying universe where everything is exactly what it appears to be and no other relation than juxtaposition is possible.”
