Other Great Metal Ballads
Like I said in the last post, it is a common belief that every metal band has their “token” ballad. This is true with many of them, although I still wouldn’t say that to any fans of Exodus. This next list is more of those great ballads. These aren’t necessary love songs. I mean I wouldn’t play “Community Property” by Steel Panther if I were going for seduction. Same with Kansas, according to Family Guy, you only listen to this one when you are walking the streets in deep contemplation. Anyway, enough of me, here’s the list and a few piccies.
-
Kansas- Dust In The Wind
-
Lionsheart- Flights of Angels
-
Anthrax- Nice F*cking Ballad
-
Dogs D’Amour- How Come It Never Rains
-
Warrior Soul- We Cry Out
-
Dio- This Is Our Life
-
Black Sabbath- Too Late
-
TNT- Eddie
-
Bonfire- Good Night Amanda
-
Stryper- Together As One
-
Heart- Allies
-
Von Groove- Arian
-
Pretty Maids- With These Eyes
-
Rainbow- Rainbow Eyes
-
Westworld- Suicide
-
Megadeth- A Tout Le Monde (not exactly a ballad, but it is the closest they will ever come to one
-
Tesla- Sail Away
-
Night Ranger- Sister Christian
-
Steel Panther- Community Property
I know there are probably hundreds more I can list here, so if you have your own ideas what should be included, let me know. Knowing me, I proabably missed some obvious ones.
