| 8/5/2008 1:03:22 AM |
 The world of music would be entirely different these days if it were not for the monster love ballads of the 80s. This is for so many reasons. But to really break down monster love ballads of the 80s, we need to take a good look at why they were so popular. The Beatles were the founders and true purveyors of rock love ballads, and being so, they paved the pathways for... Read More

The age old love ballad |
| 7/24/2008 3:49:53 PM |
| The love ballad has been around forever. Since the dawn of time, the number one topic of almost every story had to deal with love - either love lost or love reunited, and so on. Even today, the love ballad continues in the form of rap, hip hop, rock and roll, punk rock and many other genres. Every song you listen to on the radio is usually some sort of love song or love...

I Don't Love This Love Ballad Anymore |
| 7/18/2008 9:01:37 AM |
In the past there have been some love ballads that sounded great to me when they were released. However, my perception of these love ballads has often changed over the course of time. One such love ballad is Michael Bolton’s How am I Supposed to Live Without You. This song was released in 1989. At the time I loved this song, it sounded very contemporary and I though Michael...

Love Ballads that Make the Broken Hearted Feel Even Worse |
| 7/6/2008 7:53:57 AM |
Listening to a certain type of love ballad when I’m in a specific sort of mood can be annoying. The type of love ballad I’m talking about is Toni Braxton’s Unbreak My Heart. It’s one of those love ballads which has lyrics that imply that a woman’s life is over once she’s lost the man she loves, and I think there’s something rather pathetic about that. Don’t misunderstand me.... Read More |

A Most Beautiful Love Ballad |
| 6/30/2008 9:50:24 AM |
Some people enjoy listening to a love ballad, other people hate them. With most love ballads I have to be in the right mood in order to appreciate them. However, there are a few love ballads that I can enjoy regardless of what frame of mind I’m in at the time. One such love ballad is Time to Say Goodbye. The lyrics to this classical love ballad, sung by Andrea Bocelli and... Read More |

A Wedding Love Ballad |
| 6/18/2008 2:10:36 AM |
Want a love ballad for your wedding?
You may prefer a love ballad for your special day because in all honesty, nothing sounds more powerful than a metal head professing his love to the woman he loves. Rock ballads have the uncanny ability to hit that emotional chord, so considering rock ballads as the song for your wedding dance could be an iconic event. There are various... Read More |

Love Ballads and Funerals |
| 6/11/2008 10:10:50 AM |
Have you ever thought about the song you would like to be played at your funeral? Some people choose something light hearted because they do not want to add to the grief of the bereaved. Other more self-indulgent people prefer to choose the saddest love ballad they can think of.
This may sound terrible to an American who doesn’t get the sick and twisted British humor, but... Read More |

My Favorite Love Ballad... The Rose |
| 6/1/2008 9:19:49 AM |
 The Rose
" The Rose" by Bette Midler is my favorite love ballad. Some my say that it isn't a conventional love ballad and that may be true but it is about love and hope that is eternal. At the least it is one of the monster ballads of all time. The lyrics speak to the heart of what love should be about. Read them carefully and they will teach you that love must... Read More |

A Love Ballad with a Dangerous Video |
| 5/24/2008 8:51:17 AM |
James Blunt’s You’re Beautiful is one of the most memorable love ballads of the 21st century. It is also a very popular love ballad. When I fist heard this song, I wasn’t sure if the singer was male or female. James Blunt has an ambiguous voice. I like this love ballad very much. Most of us have been strongly attracted to a person on first seeing them and that’s what the love... Read More |

Love Ballads and Victim Mentality |
| 5/12/2008 7:13:15 AM |
The older I get the less I like love ballads. I don’t know precisely why love ballads appeal to me less than they once did. I think it might be because I’m less idealistic than I was during my youth. I stopped believing that a handsome prince would whisk me away on his trusty steed many years ago. There is no Prince Charming and even if there were I would take one look at... Read More |

The Genius of Rock Ballads |
| 4/24/2008 7:36:39 AM |
 Listening to rock ballads can be soothing experience. Some rock and roll tunes are pretty loud, but generally the rock ballads are slower, quieter, and have interesting lyrics. According to one web site, the top three rock ballads are Imagine, by John Lennon, Bridge over Troubled Water by Simon and Garfunkel, and Let it Be by the Beatles. These are truly gorgeous rock...

Monster Ballads: Music from an Era |
| 4/5/2008 2:06:49 PM |
What happens when you have hardcore heavy metal bands sing love ballads?
You get monster ballads, a subgenre that seems to be self contradictory, but somehow works.
It may be difficult to imagine, but these tough, hardcore rockers with long hair and rough edges are also great at singing memorable love ballads. These songs are able to show a softer side to these artist's... Read More |

The Most Poignant Love Ballad |
| 4/5/2008 10:25:50 AM |
The song Nessun Dorma is possibly the most beautiful love ballad ever written. Of course, unless you understand Italian, you might not realize what a powerful love ballad Nessun Dorma actually is.
The love ballad Nessun Dorma actually comes from the final act of Giacomo Puccini’s opera Turandot. It is one of the best known tenor arias in all opera. In the above You Tube clip, we... Read More |

A love ballad crosses many musical genres. |
| 3/18/2008 12:40:26 PM |
 A love ballad is simply a narrative poem set to music, and we have seen love ballads in virtually every genre of music out there. One can find a love ballad in opera, rock and roll, liturgical music, folk music, jazz, and possibly rap, although I'm hard pressed to think of a love ballad in a rap format.
Because love is such a powerful force in our lives, almost everyone has... Read More |

A Love Ballad Today Describes Broken Hearts |
| 3/18/2008 12:37:52 PM |
| When I think back a few years to the romantic love ballad songs that were sung by some of the older crooners, it brings back great memories. I find that quite a bit of the music today lacks in the ability to create the love ballad moods from years back. As with everything else times change and so do the tastes of the people living in them. Now days the music seems louder... Read More |
