Metalica - Fade to Black (perhaps not a ballad per se, but in Ride the Lightning, it IS a ballad compared to the thrashing monsters in the album)

Savatage - All that I Bleed

Hammerfall - Glory to the Brave

Dream Theater - Anna Lee

Like the first poster with Journey "Who`s Crying Now" Toto "I Won`t Hold You Back" and Aerosmith "Dream On" These are three ballad/slow songs that I love.

I Love ballads of all types...

...and I Love Hammerfall

--------

Dreams Come True



never thought I'd feel again...
...feel the darkness fade...and see the morning Sun arise
never thought I'd feel alive...again...
...senses dull and blunt from all the lies

now...when I hold Your Face so close to mine...
...I see a place where the Sun will shine...with You it is divine

looking down into Those Eyes...
...I know...I'll be lost and never found again
kiss me once and I will surely melt and die...
...kiss me twice and I will never leave Your Side

dreams come true...

Journey has some great ballads (although "Open Arms" annoys me). However, I don't think of Journey as clearly a rock band. Great White, on the other hand, obviously rocks more than not; and "Save Your Love" and "The Angel Song" are great, forgotten ballads.

all my fave power ballads come from the hair metal era:-

White Lion - When the Children Cry
Bon Jovi - I'll Be there For you, Bed of Roses
Skid Row - Wasted Time
Bad English - When I See you Smile
Bad Company - If You Needed Somebody
Tesla - More than Words Can Say
Extreme - More than Words
Mr. Big - To Be With You

yes, I was a huge hair metal fanatic

and a coupla non-hair metal ones:-

Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb
Kansas - Dust in the Wind
