Ballad compilation
« on: 07 Jul 2007, 19:29 »

Okay, I've been wanting to do this for a long time, but basically, tell me what to put on a compilation for ballads or great sing-alongs, kind of like what you would see on those late night informercials! I'm thinking 80s, 90s ballads, but I am definitely putting Journey on there.

1) Harry Nilsson - Without You
2) Journey - Don't Stop Believin'

Go! Also, if you actually upload your songs, I'd appreciate it. Soulseek is not liking me right now.

but the music sucks because the keyboards don't have the cold/mechanical sound they had but a wannabe techno sound that it's pathetic for Rammstein standars.

And they were singing,
"bye-bye, miss american pie."
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
And them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
Singin’, "this’ll be the day that I die.
"this’ll be the day that I die."




I was on a ski trip bus when this came on the radio.  Everyone screamed the chorus.

Wait, wait, wait a minute. This isn't a ballad compilation, this is a power-ballad compilation! That's a totally different prospect altogether.

I uploaded Starship - Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now just because I found it on an oooold CD recently and it brought back so many memories.

A friend and I used to love it when we were kids, and we'd play with Barbies and Action Men, and they'd always be in a band, and in our head, they'd play this song. We'd sing along and I get all embarrassed just remembering it now and the song is rather horrendous, but it was fun back then.

This is a fun song to sing as a duet! Meatloaf - Paradise by the Dashboard Light
As tommy suggested, Total Eclipse of the Heart by the lovely Bonnie Tyler.
Courtesy of Gryff, Time After Time.
And if you haven't had enough sap, Wind Beneath My Wings is glorious.

Also, Ladybug: my cousin and I used to do the same thing, except instead of Barbies we used Lego men, and instead of Starship we would sing along to Weird Al.

2) Journey - Don't Stop Believin'

Open Arms is a much better ballad song than Don't Stop Believin'.

Styx - Lady
10,000 Maniacs - Because the Night (live version)
Journey - Faithfully
Eagles - Take It to the Limit
Meatloaf - I Would Do Anything For Love
Peter "Fucking" Frampton - Baby, I Love Your Way
Bryan Adams - "(Everything I Do) I Do it for You[/i]
Bad Company - "Feel Like Makin' Love"

Night Ranger - Sister Christian

Gotta have some R.E.M. in there somewhere. And if you want a slightly heavier ballad go for Fade to Black or Nothing Else Matters by Metallica.

Bohemian Rhapsody. Everyone sings along to this song. And it starts off ballad-like. But yeah, you need that one.
