Geoff Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 First one that comes to mind: Babylon AD - So Savage the Heart I'll have to think of two more. That one was also one of my all-time faves ever. I had a CD single of that before I ever found the album and played it to absolute death.

My Little Pony KarpetRydOFunk Posted January 9, 2020 My Little Pony Report Share Posted January 9, 2020 I was gonna start a new thread on the worst ballads, but a quick search revealed I completely forgot about this one. I guess we can migrate the conversation to here. Anyone have any more additions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Little Pony KarpetRydOFunk Posted January 10, 2020 My Little Pony Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 Heh, I know why you pick the songs you did--you've mentioned it before--but I just think the "tried and true" approach, for Strangeways, was better.

CureTheSane Posted January 10, 2020 Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 There are probably a few cringey ones around, lyric-wise. But for me, the only bad ballad is a boring, poorly written ballad. I guess by definition, they tend to be a bit cheesey - sob stories, broken hearts, desperatelonging etc. Except maybe some like Jackyl's The Secret Of The Bottle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great band, but this song flattens it's competition. I respectfully disagree. Nothing touches Goodnight LA in terms of passion and atmosphere....it's also possibly Brocks best ever vocal. There is something truly special about that intro and verse. The way it builds. It's a classic.....bit like the Cars 'Drive'. just a timeless ballad. a definite top 10 ever for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinsane Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 one of the first that came to mind: But there are many and to everyone's chagrin that "I Saw Red" song is dog shite. Here's a few more that tickle me: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
