Me personally enjoy almost every metal ballad. Those by Nightwish are great, Iron Maiden (or Bruce Dickinson self) have good ones, but by me is currently winning Manowar with Courage...how about you?

Nope. Cargo are gods. The song keeps getting better as time passes

Would Destroyer 666's Sermon To The Dead qualify? It's a fantastic song. Not a typical love-type ballad, but very majestic and whatnot.

and waaaay so many others! Ballads are just good in their own particular ways, depending on the moment. Muse's ones are perfect as well.

Speaking of Black Label, i have to go with Bridge to Cross of off 1919 Eternal. I like Testament's The Legacy and Trail of Tears. And yeah, A Tout Le Monde.
Can't forget about Slayer's Necrophiliac, my favorite love song!;D
