There's so many great ballads, but these 2 are the best. Can't decide which is better...

Gary Moore - Separate Ways

The ultimate rock-n-roll song of all time. Nobody will top it, just like nobody will top Jimi Hendrix "Star Spangled Banner" guitar solo as best instrumental rock-n-roll song.

Gordon is folk, but "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" is definately a ballad. A very good at that.

Also, Harry Chapin's "Sniper" is one I consider very good.
