EVIL BLOOD - To Hell And Back In One Day II
So fucking flawless is hurts.

ELIZA - Burning (The King Of Destiny)
I don't think Eliza made a single bad song before 90s and this isn't exception.

DEATH SS - The Hanged Ballad
Both haunting and beautiful ballad done with the macabre italian way.

EBONY EYES - Amor To Pushike No Monogatari
Grrrreat classy guitars on this one and a good doze of emotion without cheese-factor. A classic ballad with really good solos.

Energy Vampires - My Eyes (Get Misty Too)

On it's way to becoming one of my top 10 ballads of all-time. Especially the more recent acoustic guitar version.

Yeah, that's a great one. I'd add Tears. Some other contenders would be:

Queensryche - The Lady Wore Black
KISS - Forever
Molly Hatchet - Fall Of The Peacemakers
Blackfoot - Highway Song
Baron Rojo - Siempre Estas Alli (I'm suprised that nobody mentioned this one!! Great track!)
Vengeance - If Lovin' You Is Wrong
Manowar - Mountains

EDIT: forgot X - Say Anything. Great song!

As much as I love X (but '82 - '88 period mostly) I gotta say that majority of their ballads sound like Celine Dion songs or something to me :lol:
I can enjoy them a little bit in some fucked up level (so cheesy it's good?) but I'd never consider 'em as good ballads. There are some exceptions though. Their early power ballad ENDLESS DREAM surely belongs to this thread and ALIVE from vanishing vision is pretty nice too.

Wait, there's NO WAY there can be 6 pages worth of good Metal schmallads out there. Someone's taking the piss :lol:

I did come up with one more though: ALIEN FORCE's "Fly Away" - strangely enough the best song on HaHW.

I really like a lot of the ballads already mentioned but at the moment Watch The Children Pray by Metal Church is probably my fav. Great stuff!
