Good rock songs and ballads?

Looking for some good classic rock songs and ballads. Just an example of some bands I like, Queen (My Favorite), Boston, Foreigner, Europe, Journey, Bad Company, and The Eagles. That should be enough to get the idea of what I like. Then some ballads I like are Fly To The Angels by Slaughter, and High Enough by Damn Yankees. Any suggestions?

Dio - Holy Diver and Rainbow in the Dark.

The Eagles - Johnny Come Lately, Life In The Fast Lane, Hotel California

Lynyrd Synyrd - Simple Man, Gimmie Three Steps, Free Bird, Saturday Night Special, Sweet Home Alabama

Nazareth - Love Hurts

Anything by Steve Miller is good too.

Hmmm lets see:

First off I feel the need to give some better Muse suggestions:

Muse-United States of Eurasia (This is like the Bohemian Rhapsdy of the new century)

Muse-Blackout (Really chill, somewhat ballad-esque song)

Muse-New Born (One of the bands best songs)

As for some more stuff:

Avenged Sevenfold-I Won't See You Tonight Part 1 (This is a ballad and a good one at that)
Avenged Sevenfold-Buried Alive (another cool, ballady song by the band)

Opeth-Burden (Slow and beautiful song by a fantastic band)

Stevie Ray Vaughan-Little Wing (Probably the greatest guitarist ever. Pinnacle of old school guitar right here)

The Outlaws-Green Grass and High Tides (Think Freebird but more awesome)

Best ballad of all time is Bohemian Rhapsody. :)Logan1616

It is not a whole converse phenomenon. There is 'the Eiffel Tower culture' (Trompernaars, 1997:166) in the international management. , which is a low power distance. In the lower power dis tance, (Hoecklin, 1995:31) 'higher-educated employees hold much less authoritarian values than lower-educated ones.' The obedience showed from the subordinates to the superiors is not as much as the oriental way. The leadership can be called as hierarchy and consensus. Employee can have different opinion with his/her boss. And when he/she got different ideas, he/she can go all the way up to the boss and discuss the problem. This is a good thing usually company may explore all the potentials of its employees, because sometime the subordinates may have the better&nb sp;idea of the business.yujiao

The thread is titled Good Rock Songs and Ballads. Those songs are all good songs.

True, some weren't ballad. I had that in the back of my mind but posted them anyway.

What is the definition of a ballad anyway? I looked it up and got some different examples:

• A popular song especially of a romantic or sentimental nature.
• (Music, other) a narrative song with a recurrent refrain
• ... songs often building to a loud and emotive chorus backed by drums, electric guitars and sometimes choirs.

Which of these are right? Or are they all right? Is it partial validation or do they all need to be in a song for it to qualify as a ballad?

Alwaysand Bed of Roses both by Bon Jovi :D
