    My top five are :-

    1. Always - Bon Jovi. ( The ultimate rock ballad)

    2. If You Leave Me Now - Chicago.

    3. I Want To Know What Love Is - Foreigner.

    4. Somebody To Love - Queen.

    5. Nights In White Satin - Moody Blues.

    I'm also into rock ballads and those five songs are great.
    Here are my five:

    Glory of love - Peter Cetera
    Waiting for a girl like you - Foreigner
    Drive - The Cars
    Wind of change - The Scorpions
    Because the night - Patti Smith (Bruce Springsteen also did a live version of this song)

              Can that really be classed as Rock?

                  Dunno, you tell me.
                  As I said above, I'm not big on power ballads, but there are a few I can tolerate. Heavy Rock is not really on my radar, full stop.

                    Re: Best Rock Ballads

                    I classify Rock Ballads as ballads sung by Rock Artists..
                    Power Ballads are a different kettle of Fish

                    IMHO

                    (and all bloody appalling)

                        My choices would be rather cheesy depending on what mood Im in and would only be played in the privacy of my house to avoid the embarrasment on being caught.
                        The last rock 'ballad' I played was probably Beth...Kiss.

                          KISS - Sure Know Something

                          YouTube - KISS Unplugged - Sure Know Someting (Full HD)

                          Slinky bassline! Saw them live twice, first time they were awesome, second time they sucked

                            Great tune and one of the first I worked out on the bass.I picked up a 12" of this a few years ago. (went to the cinema to see phantom of the park years ago,bit cheesy but liked the band at the time) Saw them at Donnington monsters of rock in the 80s.Gene Simmons with his famous axe bass,sweet!
