Yeah, Empty Rooms, great song. I love that whole album. Victims of the Future

'Victims Of The Future' is one of the best Gary Moore songs I've heard. I prefer his rocker side way over his bluer side.

Deep Purple - 'Haunted'

Like father, like daughter :D

I love that LC song, it was the one that delivered me to the band. I started with classic metal and evolved to power. You started with power and evolved to NWOBHM, not bad, not bad :p

Ark - 'Missing You'

i dont know about wrost, but its definately one of the worst! :lol:
 
Bon Jovi - I Want You

Just for the chorus really (the rest of the song is good too though)

I never wanted the stars
I never shot for the moon
I like them right where they are
All I wanted was you
So baby just turn away
Because I can’t face the truth
All I’m trying to say
Is all I wanted was you

and these two lines

All I got is my guitar these chords and the truth
All I got is my guitar ... but all I want is you

although anyone who listens to the song will realise that the second of the two lines actually goes ... but all I want ..baby all I want

A true ballad by Testament I will say 'Return To Serenity', especially the version that comes in "Live At The Fillmore".
Now I must say I do like 'The Ballad', I don't consider it remotely a bad song. I disagree with the notion that a metal band (especially in thrash) is about only agressiveness, moreover this song can be consider a ballad up to 4:00, from there takes a pace that invalid it as a ballad IMO.

Gary is just awesome! And I too like his rocker side better... but what's nice is that it is infused with a bit of blues, so it has a level of feeling that is just amazing IMO :)

Wow! Never thought I would see somebody praising some "new" BJ songs... that's a cool one, but I'd say my favorite BJ ballad is "WILD IS THE WIND!" :worship:
