Female Artists and Big Boomy Ballads

jaqua19 · 10-19-2015, 09:26 PM

Hey guys. So I like all kinds of music ranging from the 60s-90s. Led Zeppelin being my favorite band. Often times, music helps me concentrate with work, and writing. The point of this thread is to discuss, and suggest certain kinds of songs!

I'm looking for some of those soft/heavy power ballads by female artists from the 80s, and 90s. Specifically, ones that have those big gated snare drums.
Songs like Eternal Flame, by The Bangles, Angel Heart by Bonnie Tyler, and some of Celine Dion's work comes to mind. If anyone could suggest some songs to help my playlist, that would be awesome!

Also, I'm new here, so it's a pleasure to meet those who respond.

Not ballads but, oh, what a voice...

Aretha Franklin - Respect

Aretha Franklin - Think

Martika - Love thy will be done
Carly Simon - Coming around again, Why
Annie Lennox - Why
Tori Amos has a couple good ones
Sarah McLachlan
Lara Fabian

Recent, but sounds a little oldschool:
Trixie Whitley - Breathe you in my dreams
