KingGibbs Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 "More than Words" - ExtremeAnything by Warrant. If you are being serious, I had the privilege of seeing Warrant at Hammerjacks in Baltimore in the early 90's and it was a great show.

Tarhog Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Only Women Blood - Alice CooperThunder Road - Springsteen (live piano only version) THE greatest ballad ever written. I've listened to it a thousand times, 15-20 different versions. Goose bumps and tears in my eyes every damn time. The screen door slams Mary’s dress waves Like a vision she dances across the porch As the radio plays Roy orbison singing for the lonely Hey that’s me and I want you only Don’t turn me home again I just can’t face myself alone again Don’t run back inside Darling you know just what I’m here for So you’re scared and you’re thinking That maybe we ain’t that young anymore Show a little faith, there’s magic in the night You ain’t a beauty, but hey you’re alright Oh and that’s alright with me You can hide `neath your covers And study your pain Make crosses from your lovers Throw roses in the rain Waste your summer praying in vain For a savior to rise from these streets Well now I’m no hero That’s understood All the redemption I can offer, girl Is beneath this dirty hood With a chance to make it good somehow Hey what else can we do now? Except roll down the window And let the wind blow Back your hair Well the night’s busting open These two lanes will take us anywhere We got one last chance to make it real To trade in these wings on some wheels Climb in back Heaven’s waiting on down the tracks Oh-oh come take my hand Riding out tonight to case the promised land Oh-oh thunder road, oh thunder road oh thunder road Lying out there like a killer in the sun Hey I know it’s late we can make it if we run Oh thunder road, sit tight take hold Thunder road Well I got this guitar And I learned how to make it talk And my car’s out back If you’re ready to take that long walk From your front porch to my front seat The door’s open but the ride it ain’t free And I know you’re lonely For words that I ain’t spoken But tonight we’ll be free All the promises’ll be broken There were ghosts in the eyes Of all the boys you sent away They haunt this dusty beach road In the skeleton frames of burned out chevrolets They scream your name at night in the street Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet And in the lonely cool before dawn You hear their engines roaring on But when you get to the porch they’re gone On the wind, so mary climb in It’s a town full of losers And I’m pulling out of here to win.

kevinklein Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Just for the record: In order for a song to be considered a ballad it must be in 3/4 time. Simply because its slow does not mean its a ballad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dead Money Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Im sorry but American Pie by Don McLean is the best ballad ever. Period. And no it doesn't get any negative points because that tramp Madonna attempted to cover it. :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
