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.

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.

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 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)

Nah, here's one:
Top 5 Songs with a color in the title Now these have to be real colors. I don't want to see someone say "Lemon by U2" and try to argue that "lemon" is a color. I'm talking Crayola's basic 8, plus white, grey and black.

Bravo! I love Black Dahlia as much as I like songs about werewolves, so it's a win-win in my book.
