I don't post this as better.... just a good one as well. It's not one of their biggest hits, but I've always liked it.

Wouldn't mind potting 'the difficult brown' with this peckish young hussy.




Would Rocket Queen count as a rock ballad of sorts? I love this song. Last half of the song is perfection.

Dream On Aerosmith
Play the Game Kansas



I love music... especially the 60's 70's and 80's

Angie from the Stones.. Rock ballad or Ballad?

Bon Jovi Never Say Goodbye, Bed of Roses... Rock Ballads

Please come to Boston, Ballad or Rock Ballad? Probably pop ballad.

Whitesnake Here I go again...

A few Foreigner, a Few Journey... Neil Schon and Steve Perry with Rollie.. a devastating combo.

Triumph?

So many great ones...

She will be missed... but David Coverdales vocals.... pretty incredible and fit perfectly with the style of music. Still of the Night is still on my playlist

Yeah, I guess it’s hard to define what exactly constitutes a rock ballad. Generally, the pace of the song is slow, but it’s still rock. It can’t be too wimpy either. The Kansas one would be “Dust in the Wind,” whereas “Carry on” is a rock anthem.

“Here I go Again” is a prototype and one of the best. 👍

The Rush song would be “Closer to the Heart.”

I think Vandenburg tried out for Thin Lizzy, or was at least approached, but they went w/ Sykes.
Which was a good move. T&L is one of my favorite Lizzy albums... Heavy as F**k...

This is an incredible song, but I would put it in the anthem catagory. The 1980’s is when the rock ballad really became a thing.

That said, I sw Foghat in concert and I didn’t know this song at the time and was floored. Lonesome Dave was a top shelf talent RIP:
