Doom Metal Alchemist Posted November 13, 2016 Posted November 13, 2016 I'll start this thread off with the ones at that very top of my list: I don't know if this one is a ballad per se, but just in case it is, it is definitely worth putting in this post as one of my all time favs: Quote
molarbear Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 Because I love history, this song gets me everytime I really dig this one, an old user by the name of Dragondaime told me about them one night while she was playing Mass Effect 3 with a group of us from the boards. Quote
Doom Metal Alchemist Posted January 21, 2017 Author Posted January 21, 2017 molarbear[/member] this thread is supposed to be about ballads. : Quote
molarbear Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 Those are ballads! the first is my party ballad, the 2nd is my zone out ballad, the third speaks to the Red NWO, they ended Goldberg's streak and that was the downfall of the WCW! If that's not noteworthy, I dunno what is. Quote
Doom Metal Alchemist Posted January 28, 2017 Author Posted January 28, 2017 empty[/member] I trusted you... and you betrayed my trust. But seriously, really not my style. Also with that very classical opening I was expecting something else entirely. Quote
MasqueradeOverture Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 Hmmmm... Dope fucking album (too bad it's their final). Definitely counts as a ballad. Quote
the raytownian Posted June 6, 2017 Posted June 6, 2017 "Power ballad" to my mind means pure, unadulterated cheese, so the choices that come to mind are pretty sappy. I legitimately, completely unironically love this ridiculous song: Random aren't even a good band. They're totally unremarkable, grade D (D is for "Dad") metal slop. I mean, they were on Metal Enterprises, FFS. But, for some reason, I really like this goofy song. I also genuinely enjoy Black Sabbath's "Spinal Tap album", Born Again. Especially the closing ballad, "Keep It Warm": If nothing else, Iommi's familiar (and awesome) 80's skronky, octave fuzz guitar tone is all over the solo, so there's something for the alienated Sabbath fans to find comfort in. And, if it counts for metal, I'd like to add this syrupy Rainbow fluff piece (seems a lot of people hate this song, but I think it's fantastic. I've lovedit since the 7th grade): Quote
Doom Metal Alchemist Posted June 6, 2017 Author Posted June 6, 2017 the raytownian[/member] Rainbow Eyes is a good song, but I prefer Catch the Rainbow. Quote
the raytownian Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 Mhm, also good. Really depends on my mood which of these two songs I'd rather listen to, though. "Catch the Rainbow" is better suited to sitting on the porch and staring up at the moon introspectively, where as "Rainbow Eyes" is better suited to crying alone in your room after watching Watership Down.

MasqueradeOverture Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 Conception's got some really good ones: Quote
Sandstone Posted September 7, 2017 Posted September 7, 2017 Queensryche - Silent Lucidity (The song my mind goes to whenever I think of Power Ballads by metal bands) Pendulous Skin - Mastodon Sea of Whispers - Eternal Tears of Sorrow Angel - Judas Priest (also pretty much every other ballad from Judas Priest) Remember Tomorrow - Iron Maiden (also pretty much every other ballad from Iron Maiden) Just to name a few off the top of my head.
