Seems like this one is dying out. New topic?
Top 5 Ballads Let me define "ballad". I don't mean this in the contemporary pop music sense. I mean this in the traditional music sense. A Ballad (for the purposes of this thread) is a song that tells a story of a specific story or event. Ballads are very common in traditional Irish music as well as Country. I'll wait to post mine, but if there is any confusion on this one, I'll jump right in. |
Top 5 Covers
1. Nirvana - Where Did You Sleep Last Night? 2. Audioslave - Seven Nation Army 3. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Fire 4. Cake - I Will Survive 5. Pearl Jam - Last Kiss Top 5 Ballads 1. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Tearjerker 2. Everclear - Heroin Girl 3. Hoobastank - Running Away 4. Red Hot Chili Peppers - I Could Have Lied 5. Bob Dylan - Hurricane |
Top 5 Ballads:
1 - "A Boy Named Sue", Johnny Cash 2 - "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald", Gordon Lightfoot (been thinking of doing a speed metal version of this, as suggested by Mimi of the "Drew Carey Show") 3 - "One Piece At A Time", Johnny Cash 4 - "Last Kiss", Pearl Jam version (forgot who did the original) 5 - "Mary Jane's Last Dance", Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers |

1.) Red hot chili peppers - under the bridge
2.) Jane's addiction - jane says 3.) the doors - riders on the storm 4.) Red hot chili peppers - tearjerker 5.) bone thugs ~n~ harmony - da crossroads |

Bob Biter has the closest idea to what I was talking about.
Here is mine: - The Wind that Shakes the Barley (traditional, performed by Dead Can Dance) - Whiskey in the Jar (traditional, peformed by Metallica/Thin Lizzy) - Highway Patrolmen (by Bruce Springsteen, performed by Johnny Cash) - Streets of Laredo (traditional, peformed by Johnny Cash) - Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner (by Warren Zevon) See, songs about a specific person and their story. Some of the songs you guys listed are more ballad in the sense that they are slower and more contemplative than that bands normal stuff. |

5 Ballads
Led Zeppelin - Poor Tom Johnny Cash - John Henry A Tribe Called Quest - I Left My Wallet In El Segundo Bobbie Gentry - Ode to Billie Joe John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers - Death of J. B. Lenoir |
Here are mine.
1. Love Bites - Def Leppard 2. More Than Words - Extreme 3. Is This Love - Whitesnake 4. Heaven - Warrant 5. Every Rose Has Its Thorn - Poison :D Here are my top five ballads, and thanks Derwood for being so specific about the true definition of a ballad. This was a tough one. I went more with ones I knew off the top of my head as it was so hard to think of them. 1. Scenes From An Italian Restaurant - Billy Joel 2. Ticking - Elton John 3. Ballad In Plain D - Bob Dylan (but I prefer the version by Emily Saliers of the Indigo Girls) 4. The Drinking Song - Moxy Fruvous 5. Romeo and Juliet - Dire Straits (again, I prefer the IG version) |
Hmmm....i wonder if I should pull the plug on this list and go for another one before the week is up....
