"You're All I Need" and "Don't Know What You've Got" are awesome songs.
I'd add "Tears of the Dragon" by Bruce, and "Whiter Shade of Pale" as sung by Doro

You once didnt know about underground bands either you know

Look no further than the Scorpions, Phloggy. Kick off with Still Loving You and Holiday, then try Lady Starlight and Send Me An Angel.
The live version of Thin Lizzy's Still In Love With You is a real heart-tearer, as is I Still Love You by KISS. The unplugged version is best, depending on my mood of course.
If you get tired of the bog standard "my baby left me and I want to kill myself" formula (and who doesn't?), grab Going to California and The Rain Song by Led Zeppelin. By the time you get through those, you should be ready for Since I've Been Loving You. Listen carefully and see if you can spot John Bonham's drum pedal squeaking.
Honourable mentions:
WASP: Forever Free, The Idol and Hold On To My Heart
Queensryche: Silent Lucidity, I Will Remember and Someone Else? (both versions)
Black Sabbath: Feels Good To Me and I Won't Cry For You.
Deep Purple: When a Blind Man Cries, Love Conquers All, Soldier of Fortune and Mistreated
Rainbow: Rainbow Eyes
Queen: The Show Must Go On, Too Much Love Will Kill You and Who Wants to Live Forever?

I think theres a bit of jealousy on your behalf, for not being a "true" Australian.
I bet your the kind of person who has fancy kebabs at a barbecue, and says "Beer sucks"
If you are, I'll fucking kill you.
I cant believe we all forgot the almighty Winds Of Change by The Scorpions

Dammit I wish I could find my Scorpions Greatest Hits cd

only two of them don't apply to meI'm not a tradesman, and I don't listen to triple M.
I've got a Hard N Heavy video from '88 where two of the guys from Heathen are standing outside a thrash club in San Fransisco reminiscing about a "great night" where Exodus played there and said they wanted the head of a poser on the stage, and then a couple of guys went outside, found a glam dude with hairspray and spandex, and slit his throat. Fucking idiots...spawn said:It was the thrash guys vs. the glam metal "posers" in the 80s basically
Are you sure it was November Rain? Because Guns N Roses did a couple of other covers that were massive hits like Live & Let Die and Knockin' On Heaven's Door... they could've been talking about one of them.DravenMist said:

I'd say something about Xena having great songs at her wedding, but I'd just get accused of trying to crack on to her.

I just got a Scorpions greatest hits CD, Spawn. It's not the Deadly Sting one you have because that would cost about $80 to import. It's called "Best" and has a silvery grey cover. I also ordered "Classic Bites" for only $8.95 (!!) which is made up of all the best songs from Crazy World and Face The Heat.
A few more ballads I forgot are "You Keep On Moving" by Deep Purple (one of their greatest songs ever) as well as "Angel" and "What It Takes" by Aerosmith. Those last two came out when Steve, Joe and the boys were still writing interesting songs instead of just rehashing the same thing over and over again.

Mine was a 2cd one, I think it was called The Mercury Years or something, it was good, I dont know what happened to it, I lose cds so easily, its probably under a lounge somewhere in paraguay or something.
