I have to make this quick as I'm just off to school...but...

What are some great rock ballads that you can think of? Even the super-cheesy big band, huge love songs?

I'll go first: I love Glycerine by Bush X (I don't think it's cheesy either)...

gotta run, late for class!
 
lol Gickies.

I also love Glycerine. :heart:

:hmm: My choice? How about "Never Tear Us Apart" INXS. :up:
 
sorry, its not like theyre a product or anything. they have true talent, and theyre certainly not being exploited.

Is it sad that I could sing most all of these songs for you on demand?

Nelson, wow. You didnt include their other hit, "After the Rain"

Inxs kinda seems out of place on there.

i have a carachter to uphold. if i dont, people would be disappointed.

First of all you have to make the distinction between Rock Ballads, like Stairway to Heaven (and possibly Bohemian Rhapsody) and Power Ballads (those awful eighties hair creations).

In that case... here are some more crappy power ballads:

Here I go again- Whitesnake (actually anything by Whitesnake)

Always- Bon Jovi

Think of Laura- Christopher Cross (that's right)

Rock Ballads:

Black Betty (it's not really a ballad, but I just thought I'd mention it)

Yes, how would the people of interference survive if you only mentioned your love for Radiohead once a day instead of 8 times....

agghh, 3 feet of personal space bear! I swear, for someone who hates to be touched you certainly seem to be touchy-feely lately. Don't expect me to grab your ass.
