"You Are My Religion" by Firehouse

On the tail end of the hairband craze, a North Carolina band aptly named Firehouse came in to hose down the flames of this dying genre, scoring some modest hits in the process. Their catchy debut single, "Don't Treat Me Bad," climbed to #19 in 1991 and the token power ballad, "Love Of A Lifetime," did even better by reaching #5.

The band would continue to make appearances in the top 40 with similar power ballads like "When I Look Into Your Eyes" (#8) and "I Live My Life For You" (#26).

Firehouse released an acoustic album in 1996 called "Good Acoustics." In addition to reworking some of their previous tunes, it contained four new songs. Kicking off the record is a surprise gem called "You Are My Religion" - a very cool pop song that should have set the charts back on fire.
