Two female-fronted pop power ballads that were featured on movie soundtracks, Top Gun for TMBA and Pretty Woman for IMHBL. Both songs are also fantastic, and showcase the best of pop music in the back half of the 80s (IMHBL was originally released in 1987, but re-released in 1990). So, which one do you, users of Pulse Music Board, prefer?

Both great songs, but "Take My Breath Away" literally still takes my breath away to this very day.
Just the production alone >>>>

Roxette all the way.
"Take My Breath Away" never did anything for me actually.

This one's really hard tbh. Both ten out of ten for me. I think I'm gonna give the edge to "TMBA" because I love the production so much.

I have a lot of nostalgia for "It Must Have Been Love" from my childhood (plus I think it is a better song than TMBA), so that gets my vote.

Ah this is too hard. Nothing hits like these power ballads of that era. So much emotion, so much drama.
I had to go with Take My Breath Away as it never gets old and is still as haunting as ever.

Both are brilliant ballads. I only started liking the Berlin record after I turned 40. I'm going with Roxette!

"It Must Have Been Love". "Take My Breath Away" always dragged on for me.
