WHITE THRASH wrote:Good Lord, ballads are hard to get correct. If we're talking straight-up rock ballads, then the 2 finest examples are to be found as follows;

- WARRANT - 'Heaven'
- WINGER - 'Miles Away'

Classics. I would also accept any of Skid Row's, especially the one they refer to as 'Wasted Time'

Not traditional ballads as such, but BY GOLLY do Dream Theater know how to pen a melody when they ease back.

You forgot Hysteria by Def Leppard.

Porcupine Tree do some bloody lovely ballads I tell ya. Mellotron Scratch is my favourite, Lazarus is also lovely, and My Ashes from FOABP is brilliantly nice. Enjoyable.

Aye,good band.Their second album "Jocks know nowt about music,they are too busy balancing chips on their shoulders" is a genre classic.
