Most of all the tunes I like are sappy I guess :lol:

. 80's doesn't seem that long ago, but I guess they are.

Queen - Who Wants to Live Forever: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5L8-FTvSVxs

These were some of the ballads that reminds me of my childhood

Not the first clue have I on Mr Stewart's sexual side but I do think his voice is very unique and that's why
I enjoy it so much.

by **hoagiepete** » Wed Sep 23, 2009 4:44 am

Time Passages is an all time favorite. Don't care if he is gay or not. Great use of the sax.

Best none sappy ballad...FREEBIRD... Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Agreed.

Agreed big time. That's the Souths' National Anthem.

Speaking of which, is there a better written/lyrical ballad than Streets of Philadelphia?

That cracked on the tracks one night"

I'd like to know the answer to that as well. They keep referring to Don't Stop Believin as a ballad. I just don't see that.
