Home Sweet Home (3:59)

“Home Sweet Home” is a song by the American glam metal band Mötley Crüe and is one of the first examples of a power ballad. Originally released on the band’s 1985 album, Theatre of Pain, the song was accompanied by a music video which documented the band’s undertakings over the course of a concert, or several concerts. “Home Sweet Home” was later remixed and re-released as a single in 1991, as “Home Sweet Home ‘91.” This version featured on the band’s Decade of Decadence compilation album. The song is often referred to as a power ballad, and its success was a prelude to similar marketing formula for other hair bands in the late 1980s. The song ranks #12 on VH1’s chart of the greatest power ballads of all time.
