A lot of people post about music in general, but curious what all of your favorite Rock Ballads are, personally my top 3 are:

1.)Whitesnake- Is This Love     http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6G3Exb1WN4U&feature=player_embedded

2.)Kiss- Forever     http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_RKO5ozLVo&feature=avmsc2

3.)Scorpions- Still Loving You    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkIrZxN9pHk&feature=avmsc2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkIrZxN9pHk&feature=avmsc2)

I'm not sure it would classify as a ballad, but "Come Again" by Damn Yankees.  And, of course, "High Enough"...

Mustaine's choice of Love Song is damn near the Top for me as well.

I'd go with these two and Love Song:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzkhOmKVW08 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzkhOmKVW08)

or

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDfH_J4MAUQ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDfH_J4MAUQ)

I could make arguments to rotate any of the three.

Yup. Many types. Lots of romance. Ballads do tend to be more nostalgic or sentimental in nature and I've never had a crepe.
