The recent RATT Geico commercial (genius) has me listening to 80s rock a ton again recently.

My submission is Slaughter-Fly to the Angels

Lots of choices, a few off the top of my head.

Boston- Amanda
Queensryche- Silent Lucidity
Warrant- Heaven
Skid Row- I Remember You
Whitesnake- Is This Love

The clear winner for me is a tie.

Motley Crue- Home Sweet Home
Guns and Roses- November Rain

That wasn't even GNR's top Ballad. Estranged is their #1.

GNR rules this category:

Please Don't Cry
Estranged
November Rain

I feel like Estranged doesn’t get nearly the respect it deserves. It’s probably my favorite song of theirs. Obviously November Rain is a classic.

You may like Estranged better but to say that it is GNR's number one is wrong. November Rain has almost 1.4 billion views on youtube, ten times as many as Estranged.

After further consideration, I would probably make it a trilogy by adding Prince's Purple Rain.

I’d go with the Scorpions. Must have at least 25+ killer ballads over the years.

Thirteen responses and no one mentioned Cinderella's Don't Know What You Got 'Til It's Gone? Shame, shame, shame.

I would also throw in Aerosmith's Angel and Tesla's Love Song

Yeah numbers wise it was bigger, doesn't mean better. The video contributed a lot to November Rain being bigger. Especially when MTV played it nonstop.
