We will be in touch
I have always maintained that rock bands do some of the best ballads around and have always really liked...
Green Day - Good Riddance
GnR - Patience
Black Sabbath - Changes (which is, in fact, Ozzy's favourite Sabbath track)
Any more to add...
A genre that has also produced some of the worst songs ever recorded eg. More then Words by Extreme or Winds of Change by the Scorpions! BARF!
Erm... Where Did you Sleep Last Night - Nirvana is more my thing or something by Smashing Pumpkins
LOL
I was going to put a 'No Winds of Change' rule in but forgot to add that line.

A ballad is just a sad song. You're confusing Soft Rock with Rock Ballad.
But, to add to the confusion. Heart, Alone?
You're confusing Hair Rock with Rock Ballad
Guns n' Roses, Estranged.
Also, the other two in the trilogy, November Rain and Don't Cry.
Dictionary definition...
[i]a song or poem that tells a story, or (in popular music) a slow love song[/i]
I guess all my three could be classed as love (or loss of a love)/telling story songs to an extent.
But saying that, I didn't realise that was the definition of a ballad - learning, always learning.
Love Song by Tesla from Five Man Acoustical Jam
Wish you were here, Pink Floyd
Still Loving You from the Scorpions is one of my favourites
Turn the Page, originally Bob Seger, also covered, with a pretty dodgy video and backstory, by Metallica.
Ride on - ACDC
