I think this is one that most everyone can relate to: a song that really touched you. It doesn't even have to be a ballad. Songs like "Home Sweet Home", "Pour Some Sugar on Me", "The Love Song",etc. For some reason I can't think of anymore right now. Well, what were/are some of your favorites?

Letting Go-Straight Lines
This Could Be the Night-Loverboy
When You Close Your Eyes-Night Ranger
Come Back-Bon Jovi

Well I could go on and on but I'll stop for now

A bit of an old thread I know, but when I was reading it I wondered is there no one here who like Marillion? Their songs Lavender and Kayleigh are classic love ballads.

my fav ballad is: "till death do us part" from WHITE LION

i when i got married we let this song be played in church when my life walked towards me to the altar!

i will never forget that day!

ps: when we walked out as a married couple we let "You and I" (scorpions) be played in the background.

but till death do us part captures everything we stand for as a happilly married couple!

another great ballad to me is:

steelheart-she's gone

greets,

Arie
