Helloweeen? Grave Digger? Bathory?

Sorry, ment New Beginnings by Judas Priest. Got it mixe dup with Lost Love (from the same album, also a good ballad).

What about Tunnel Of Light and Valley Of The Queens, both from Ayreon's Into The Electric Castle. And Lifeless from Stolen Babies' There Be Squabbles Ahead.

Thanks for your help! Most of the songs are in the list (I found New Beginnings a horrible song ). And thanks a lot for introducing me to Stolen Babies, I didn't know them before, they're great!

Your welcome. I got the album when I saw it as a staff pick a year or two ago and thought the album title was awsome. And an amazon review said it sounded like a mix of avant-garde metal, ska punk and circus music.

How about So Sad by King Diamond (from The Puppet Master), Lady Of The LAke by Black Majesty (from Sands Of Time) or New Horizons by Lord (from Set In Stone)?

check it out, I am sure you will love it. Try to get hold of a live version. Most of the time the live version of the song is better than the already great studio version.

Great to see you like it enough to put it in your list.

Y&T is a toally underrated band with some great tunes. And I Believe In You is their best, I think. Especially a live version of it. Ever since I first heard it in 1982 I play it a couple of times a year on average at least.

I'm not very good at telling what a ballad actually is so I'll just throw out names:
Motley Crue - Home Sweet Home
Motley Crue - Don't Go Away Mad (Just Go Away)
Ozzy Osbourne - Mama, I'm Coming Home
Nine Inch Nails - Hurt
Crimson Glory - Transcendence
Porcupine Tree - Lazarus
Tesla - Love Song
Def Leppard - Hysteria
Guns 'N Roses - November Rain
Pantera - Cemetary Gates

Saviour Machine's A World Alone (from Saviour Machine I) and Estranged (from Use Your Illusion II), Patience (from GnR Lies) and This I Love (from Chinese Democracy), all Guns N Roses? Suprised that November Rain isn't already here, only noticed when Lit suggested it above.

You can add one of Paradise Lost classics - Forever Failure; Darkwell's - The Machine from their album "Metatron"; Manowar's - Heart of Steel, Master of the Wind;

Peccatum - The Banks Of This River Is Night (from Lost In Reverie).

Thanks to you all, Lit., M C Vice & Nick, I discovered some new bands and a lot of great songs I added most of them to the list.
