I'll go with: 1. REO Speedwagon - Time For Me To Fly 2. Toto - Angela 3. Eagles - Hollywood Waltz 4. Barclay James Harvest - Sweet Jesus 5. KISS - Beth All a tad obvious but I love 'em!
In no special order but five of my favourites: Fanny Be Tender - Bee Gees Waterloo Sunset - Kinks Rainy Night In Georgia - Randy Crawford, Conway Tvitty & Sam Moore Night Shift - Commodores Sweet Marie - Thin Lizzy
BOWIE - "Wild is The Wind" That is, if you want absolute, true love. I do like Grant's "Shannon," due to it being about a dog. Because dogs really do bring a bond that is priceless... a selfless, loyal and joyful true love as well. 🐶

Great job and a bunch of tunes I’m unfamiliar with. Off the top of my gourd: Ian Hunter: Irene Wilde The Hollies: Air that I Breathe The Good Rats: Advertisement in the Voice Terry Reid: To be Treated Right Cat Stevens: Morning has Broken
Another cool show, cats! I don’t think The Contrarians have ever covered this particular topic, so it was nice to see. I loved the variety of choices from pop to funk to rock to Martin’s “Weird Folk.” (Which is, actually, a genre unto itself.) You could even do a sequel with an entirely different panel and get all new picks! Hmmm… Keep up the stellar work you fine folks do here. ~ Davey Cretin, from Cretin Classics.

Love of My Life - Queen, Hearts Grown Cold - Nazareth, Catch the Rainbow - Rainbow, Dog & Butterfly - Heart, Bridge Over Troubled Water - Simon & Garfunkel
Interesting topic gentlemen, with some enlightening and also (for me) long forgotten choices. I'll try not to be duplicitous with yours and throw out a few of my top picks... 1. The Tubes - Prime Time 2. Boston - Let Me Take You Home Tonight 3. Scorpions - Always Somewhere 4. Firefall - Strange Ways 5. Styx - Babe 6. The Knack - Maybe Tonight 7. Gene Simmons - See You Tonite 8. Fleetwood Mac - Gold Dust Woman 9. The Cars - All Mixed Up 10. UFO - Love to Love 11. John Lennon - Working Class Hero
Here are some of my picks Aerosmith - Dream on 10CC - Im not in love Billy Thorpe - Its almost summer Don Mclean - Castles in the air The Hollies - The air that i breathe Alice cooper - you and me Peter Frampton - Im in you Rod Stewart - Mandolin wind
I totally disagree with Martin on this topic. The best ballads are always from hard rock or heavy metal bands. Some favorites are Thin Lizzy-Still in love with you (live version) , Megadeth-A Tout Le Monde, Led Zeppelin-Since I’ve been loving you, Rainbow-Catch the Rainbow, Judas Priest-Last Rose of Summer.
I'm just going to list 1973. Great decade for ballad's Mind Games - Lennon, Still...You Turn Me On - Emerson Lake Palmer, Dream On - Aerosmith You Know Ill Always Love You - Budgie, Simple Man - Lynyrd Skynyrd, Rain Song - Zeppelin, Knocking On Heavens Door - Dylan, Fluff - Sabbath, Angie - Rolling Stones, Great Gig In The Sky - Pink Floyd.
Black Sabbath - Changes Aerosmith - You see me Crying Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven Judas Priest - Before the Dawn Black Sabbath - Junior's Eyes Sweet - The Sixteens Uriah Heep - July Morning Black Sabbath - She's Gone Nazareth - Love Hurts Deep Purple - Mistreated
Ok, interesting. We all hear things differently. Try wooing the ladies with slow songs from Black Sabbath, The Ghost and Judas Priest! But ballads fulfill different purposes. Here are 5 picks from me and I don’t care about being perceived as cool or worry about losing any street cred. I like what I like ... 10cc - I’m Not In Love, Hall & Oates- Sara Smile, Carpenters - We’ve Only Just Begun, Bee Gees - How Deep Is Your Love, Bread - Make It With You
Probably forgetting tons of them, but... The Beatles-The Long and Winding Road (cheating? Well, officially it was 1970) Neil Young-I Believe in You Nick Drake-At the Chime of a City Clock Marvin Gaye-Flyin' High in the Friendly Sky Big Star-Thirteen Aretha Franklin-Until You Come Back to Me Billy Paul-Me and Mrs. Jones Steely Dan-Razor Boy Led Zeppelin-The Rain Song Seals & Crofts-Summer Breeze The Who-Love Reign o'er Me Stevie Wonder-Visions King Crimson-The Night Watch Todd Rundgren-The Last Ride Little Feat-Long Distance Love 10cc-I'm Not in Love Allen Toussaint-Southern Nights The Band-It Makes No Difference Genesis-Entangled ABBA-Chiquitita A couple of them maybe bordeline cases, but at least I didn't want to choose multi-part songs that have fast sections, like "Starless" by Crimson or "Behind Blue Eyes" by The Who.
I couldn't keep it to five songs either...no order. Todd Rundgren - Torch Song Chicago - If You Leave Me Now The Tubes - Love's a Mystery Alice Cooper - How You Gonna See Me Now The 5th Dimension - If I Could Reach You ABBA - Hasta Manana Al Stewart - Time Passages Mike Batt - Lady of the Dawn The Pop-Tops - Mamy Blue Kansas - Lonely Wind Alan Parsons Project - If I Could Change Your Mind America - Saturn Nights Carole King - It's Too Late Clifford T. Ward - Gaye Barry Manilow - Even Now Billy Joel - Just the Way You Are Blue Oyster Cult - I Love the Night Rugsted/Kreutzfeldt - Jeg Ved Det Godt Chi Coletrane - Myself to You Duncan Browne - Mignon James Taylor - Fire and Rain ELO - Can't Get it Out of My Head Kiki Dee - Loving and Free Peter Criss - I Can't Stop the Rain Styx - Boat on the River Uriah Heep - Free Me Carly Simon - Nobody Does it Better Wishbone Ash - Leaf and Stream

Irene Wilde is a great pick. The Welcome To The Club version is even better.

Don't let the sun go down on me , Elton John ..the balladeer
How did no one pick any Billy Joel, Neil Young, Elton John, or Jefferson Starship?
Many we're keeping in the spirit of the contrarians..
My Sweet Lady John Denver
great kinks songs
Wow. My comments aren't showing up in chat after i said nothing wrong. RUclips is a joke. I know it has nothing to do with The Contrarians or any mods in chat. Just lame.
Just checked, there are comments from you in the chat. Most likely your phone app was messing up and needed to be shut down and restarted.
