Ozzy - You Can't Kill Rock n' Roll and/or Tonight
Skid Row - I Remember You (that's right, I put a hair band on the list)
Metallica - Nothing Else Matters
Stones - Angie (because Wild Horses was taken and Dead Flowers is morbid)
Beatles - Dear Prudence

i love a total of 2 Bon Jovi songs - that one and I'll Be There For You

Since I'm on a Rush kick today anyway, I may as well suggest Closer To The Heart by Rush for rock ballad.

Rush esta muy bueno! Does Red Barchetta count?

For 3 more usually happy Canadians writing ballads, one need only turn to Triumph: Magic Power, Just a Game, Hold On.

OH!!!!
I agree 100%, Triumph is almost twice the band Rush actually is!

Rik Emmett is possibly one of my #1 favorite artist. Studio and Live Performances.

You may also like "This Ain't A Love Song". It's a bit more bluesy, and the melody is really beautiful.

and your point being?

i can't really remember that that well

Triumph
 

I know! I used to try to mimic Emmett's classical style solos he snuch onto each album. Loved that band.

(btw thanks for the add ... i'm just a noob)

... being new, I was expecting an anti-hair metal pile on. I have nothing against the genre, I listened whole heartedly and some of my most memorable girlfriends used Cinderella/Poison/Crue-quantities of Aqua Net to boot.

you have a fellow hair-metal connoiseuer here

and The Batlord digs hair-metal as well
