So... I have to burn a CD (mp3 format) with some nice rock ballads for a friend of mine. And since I'm more into heavier stuff, I wanted to ask you for some song names, to speed the process. I would probably come up with 30-40 songs, but a full CD can hold up to 120-140 songs, so you can see I lack of few songs. I'm browsing some Rock Ballads torrents, but I think it would be much easier if bunch of people give me ideas. So, thanks!

My gf says Roxette And I totally agree with her. Fill the complete disc with songs from Roxette, give it with a bottle of white wine and you've got yourself a winner!

This is what I came up with:

I wouldn't call Livin'on the Edge, Janie's Got a Gun and Sanitarium ballads

Well, my method was: searching for torrents "<band name> ballads", and then save only the songs I'm familiar with. So don't blame me, that these guys have chosen these songs for their ballads compilations.

Anyways, it's for a guy who doesn't listen to rock/metal, so anything familiar (and not death metal) will pass for ballad.

Haha, then put some Mariah Carey on it too

Hi everyone here, it's been a long time... Here are a few ballads for your friend, 'Max :

OPETH - Harvest (and maybe the whole Damnation album)
VED BUENS ENDE - Autumn Leaves
AVA INFERI - Vultos
BLACK CROWES - Twice As Hard
MOTORHEAD - 1916
JULIO IGLESIAS & DOLLY PARTON - When You Tell Me That You Love Me
PORTAL - Glumurphonel
IN THE WOODS - Epitaph (King Crimson cover)
JEX TOTH - When The Raven Calls
BRUCE DICKINSON - Gates Of Urizen & Chemical Wedding
ANATHEMA - Release
THE 3RD AND THE MORTAL - Harvest
PECCATUM - The Banks Of This River Is Night
STINA NORDENSTAM - Dynamite
and finally, every song from 'Picnic Of Love' by Anal Cunt (perfect for a first date ; tested and tested again ; still single)

I hope this helps

No Queen? No Iron Maiden? wtf max?!

I had Iron Maiden in mind, but at the time I got to them, the CD was full, so no Maiden. I didn't even thought of Queen, so no Queen either, sorry, Toni.

It's a sad rock ballads compilation without Fear of the Dark and Bohemian rhapsody
"thunder bolts and lightning,
very very frighting thing!"

THere is 1 (or 2?) SBiG cd compilation(s) somewhere on the internets

I think I have it. Gonna reshare after I come back home.

Here's the thread. Gonna reshare tonight, though (yesterday I was a bit drunk).

No, actually I can't.

It seems rather normal that you're not understandable, so I perfectly understand your rants
