THE 40 GREATEST BALLADS OF ALL TIME! (As picked by me!)
OK, I have one more list that I was originally against doing. But thanks to some encouragement from a very effective third party, I was able to compile a surprisingly lengthy list. I am by no means a lover of ballads. I always thought that I could name all of my favorite ballads on both hands. I've even been accused of not being a romantic. I'm sure that you guys [[and especially gals) can name off hundreds of personal favorites.
