They only had one song that I like in the whole list and that's 45% similar? How's that work exactly?

I came up 63% similar - I just hit "Skip it!" on all the heavy metal songs because I've never been a metal fan.

I voted skip it on everything except Aerosmith and Styx. I can stand cheese rock.

I've never really been into the whole "power ballad" thing, unless the song has a smokin' guitar lead to help it along, and even then, it helps to have an upbeat theme.
All were great. Love the power ballads
