Damn! I knew I forgot something. I have all but two AC/DC albums, that's on one of them.
Queen-We will rock you.(what a great anthem)Qeen got me looking for heavier kinds of rock when I was younger.
A good ballad.
Def leppard-Love bites

'I don't wanna touch you too much baby
cause makin love to you might drive me crazy
I know that love is the way you make it
So I don't wanna be there when you decide to break it
Love bites, Love bleeds
it's bringin' me to my kneese
Love lives, love dies
it's what I need'

Awesome song

If I knew that I'm your only one
I could live and make it throught time but if one day
You just be gone I wouldn't know how to ever get by
I wouldn't know how to ever get by
I wouldn't know how to ever get by
I would simply break down and cry

[Wyvern]

My ultimate ballads or ballad-like songs list.

Pull My Strings-Deep Purple

I think is 'Loosen My Strings' from "Purpendicular" as is one hell of a ballad!


@ Tool: Sorry I didn't saw your post before. Saxon indeed covered 'In The Court Of The Crimson King' in "Killing Ground" (there's also a cover by Lana Lane in "Return To Japan", but Saxon's cover has more merit IMO).

 

[SickBoy]

Bleed - Angel Dust (not lyrically an anthem, but the sound is one)

When I heard that song, it blew me away, but the album which contains it as a whole didn't suit me as the song did...

 

[madcheese9377]

Amthems:
Pantera-5 minutes alone. best pantera video and anthem!
Billy Idol-Rebel yell
Ballads:
Dio-Shame on the night.
Black Sabbath-Fluff.

[Abryl]

Pearjam-Wish list.

[Wyvern]

The Eagles were a kick-ass band. I even like some of their early country stuff and I like very very little country.

whoops! just saw the error! Sorry. I was quite tired a little buzzed. Got back from a trip to San Francisco and i was drinking a little. Yeh, i LOVE that song. The keyboard intro never fails to send chills down my spine. Jon Lord is God.

'On The Turning Away'

That's a cool song! I'm not that much into post-Waters Pink Floyd, but I do like that one.
