Index > What was the first 1980s-style "monster ballad'?

I cheated and used Google, because I couldn't think of anything earlier

Styx’s “Lady” is from 1973. I didn’t realize Styx were that early.

I’m guessing that Alice Cooper’s Ballad of Dwight Fry doesn’t count. I’ve never done karaoke, but if I did then that would be my song.
