Skid Row - I Remember You

One of my favorite songs ever, and not in any sort of ironic way. Sebastian Bach has an amazing voice.

Yup. Doin broadway now(Dr. Jekyl & Mr. Hyde). Ya know he was in an all boys choir when he was in school? Not just that he sang saprano. Crazy shit dude really does have an amazing voice.

Asta!!

Where to start, all rock was better around black sabbath, ac/dc. led zepplin, pink floyd- money, thats my jam

Rage Against The Machine ..............................................................

Guns n' Roses: "Sweet Child O' Mine"
Aerosmith: "Don't Wanna Miss a Thing"
Styx: "Show Me the Way"
Kiss: "God Gave Rock 'n' Roll to You"

How could I forget Aerosmith?!

Okay some more.
Aerosmith - Dream On
Scorpions - Wind Of Change

Asta!!

Overall:
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Freebird

Mine:
Scorpions - Still Lovin' You
Guns n' Roses - Sweet Child of Mine

[B]Skid Row - I Remember You

Awesome song. I was just thinking of that while reading the question

Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb

Led Zep - Babe Im Gonna Leave You

i always thought most 80's ballads were pretty tacky, but i guess that adjective applies to most of the 80's anyway :)

STP - Still Remains
Pearl Jam - Black
Gn'R - November Rain, Estranged
Candlebox - lots of good ones on their 3rd album
Led Zeppelin - Babe I'm Gonna Leave You
Alice in Chains - Down in a Hole

GnR- dont cry
great big sea- clearest indication
incubus- drive
OLP- 4 am

Black Sabbath~ Planet Caravan
Def Leppard~ Love Bites
Alice in Chains~ Down in a Hole
Led Zep~ Going to California
Moody Blues~ Nights in White Satin
Who~ Love Reign O'er Me
U2~ One


Those are the ones I can think of right now. Now I have a killer list to make a ballad Cd!

def leppard - pour some sugar on me
extreme - more than words
moody blues - nights in white satin
radiohead - creep
cure - pictures of you
peter gabriel - in your eyes
pink floyd - wish you were here
neil young - cinnamon girl

led Zep- Over the hills and far away

Played it at my wedding

Along with the requisite Thank You

G'n'R - Estranged.

Without listing a number of Pink Floyd tunes that inevitably come to mind whenever I try to think of the greatest --whatevers, the one that popped into my head when I read the question was;

Pantera - Hollow

Come on guys, what about "To Be with You" by Mr. Big? That song is great. Also,

"Bed of Roses" - Bon Jovi
"High Enough" - Damn Yankees
"Goodbye to Romance" - Ozzy Osbourne
"When Its Love" - Van Halen
"When the Children Cry" - White Lion

Led Zepplin - Stairway to Heaven
Poison - Every Rose Has It's Thorn
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Simple Man

My favorite Styx Ballad was "Suite Madam Blue"
I also liked Journey- "Faithfully"

Desperado and New York Minute by the eagles always give me chills... so artistic

Whitesnake - Is this love

Can't believe no one has mentioned my absolute fave:

"Home Sweet Home" - Motley Crue

Ya know shred I was waiting for somebody to mention some of those songs. I had them in mind when I made the post. I left em out purposely so someone else could pick them. Mr. Big were great. Props for finally bringing them up. Some other groups/songs I thought would be mentioned by now...

Firehouse - Love Of A Lifetime
Nazareth - Love Hurts (C'mon people!)
Van Halen - Don't Tell Me What Love Can Do

Who the fuck sang "Ah ha(This Much Is True)???? It's driving me fucking nuts right now. I just checked the wedding singer soundtrack and it's not on there what kinda fuckin bullshit is that Gary fuckin sang the song on stage at the end of the movie how the hell could it not be on the damn soundtrack? Not to mention my mom pawned the DVD and gave the VHS to my sister because we had the DVD...utter bullshit I tells ya!! Oh well.

Asta!!
