I agree with most of the songs you mentioned, but I dont consider "times like these" as a rock ballad though

oooooh ****e i forgot about queens bohemian rhapsody ... i was unsure about the doors - riders on the storm being a rock ballad so maybe u can switch them though i love the latter... times like these i think is a rock ballad.

can we see some more names here?

number 13 was a candidate for worst song ever in a local paper here (which was won by My Heart Will Go On by celine dion). I have to agree it has to be one of the worst songs with the most god-awful lyrics ever heard - "hose me down with holy water if i get too hot" ...lol

Riders on the Storm is hardly a ballad.

if you are looking for power ballads, look no further than the 80's hair bands like Skid Row (i remember you, 18 and life), Motley Crue (home sweet home), Poison, Queensryche and er... Anthrax's Dallabnikufecin (hint: read backwards) - the best ballad ever made in the history of ballads lol.

they may not be love songs but they have this slow romantic touch ... and they should be there, except for riders on the storm...

I detest rock ballads. Do listen to Dana Carvey's parody of rock ballads called "chopping broccoli". Hilarious :rofl:
