Ballad

[4getmenot]

Whats the best ballad you've ever heard. I have some space on a cd I'm doing and would like to know if someone suggests a song I don't have.

[randy-andy]

what kind of ballads do you like. old school or modern types????

[4getmenot]

well 80's rock ballads, are always the best but any really.

[Alibobs]

I bet you've already got Total Eclipse of the Heart? Can't get much more 80's rock ballad than that!

[4getmenot]

Yer sorry

[bazza26]

gold by spandau ballet
t pau china in your hand
10 cc im not in love
europe the final countdown
boston more then a feeling

are they any good or do you need more?

[4getmenot]

I've got all of them, but I'm after more slow ballads really.

[4getmenot]

I love Chicago (Peter Cetera) and american type ballads

[OBonio]

REO Speedwagon - Keep On Loving You
Starship - Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now
Kate Bush & Peter Gabriel - Don't Give Up
Genesis - Tonight, Tonight, Tonight

Any use?

[4getmenot]

Got them :-( I think I've got all the ballads in the world now. Is there a song on an album that is so meaningful and strong that you have to make people listen to it, any suggestions?

[China Doll]

I like kiss from a rose by seal.

There are some songs that are deeply meaningful to me but I don't think I'd actually want anyone to listen to them as they're so personal and I wouldn't want to explain them if that makes sense.

[4getmenot]

Yer kiss from a rose is a lovely one too. I'm just after about 3 more songs for my CD and i've ran out of ideas. I watched films for inspiration, and I've got them all

[TEAK36]

Sarah Machlaclan - Angel.
Goo Goo dolls - Iris
Live - Lightening Crashes.
Staind-Epiphany

Some of my all time faves.

[OBonio]

Foreigner - I Want to Know What Love Is
St Elmo's Fire - ... err. that bloke... Billy Joel was it?
Power of Love - Huey Lewis and the News
Power of Love - Frankie Goes to Hollywood

[4getmenot]

Well O'Bonio I have got them too :-( But TEAK 36 I have never heard of your last 2. If they are as good as Angel and Goo Dolls they are going on my CD now. :-) That doesnt mean I dont appreciate all other answers, keep them coming :-)

[OBonio]

Living Years - Mike and The Mechanics
Broken Wings - errr.. flippity flip... you know the one..
Drive - The Cars
Take a Look at me Now - Phill Collins... or Genesis

This is scary how many I know!!

[OBonio]

Losing More than I'll Ever Have - Primal Scream (this is actually where the riff for Loaded came from... useless fact :o)

[4getmenot]

all taken :-( Oh dear Bonio. You're getting the jist of what I like, spot on, I just have them already. Kyrie i think is broken wings and Jon Parr is St Elmos fire.

[4getmenot]

Ah whats that primal scream one is it quite slow?

[OBonio]

It's the slowest Primal Scream one I know of... has a special place in my life so it does (ie, coulnd't stop playing it after an ex dumped me... *sigh*).

What about some Marillion? Kayleigh or Lavendar Blue (dilly dilly)?

[TEAK36]

Hi,4getmenot,It sounds as though you putting together a really top notch CD of ballads, and as it seems as we have a similar taste in music, is there any chance you could post the list of songs you already have decided to put onto disc.There are bound to be some that I have never heard of, and I am in need of some new tunes to listen to.
