"Last Turn On A Red Light", "Diary Of A Workin' Man" & "Highway Song" all by BLACKFOOT, them Southern boys knew how to write songs in the early days, and they rocked pretty hard back then too.
Oh, and "Mountains" by MANOWAR too, stirring stuff.

I don't know if it's mentioned but Skyclad's Ring Stone Round is beautiful

You've all forgotten Motörhead's "1916".

talking about Motorhead, "Dont let daddy kiss me" from Bastardas album is beautiful, but the theme and lyrics are something completely different... :wink: excellent ballad

Best ballad ever.
