Many of these aren't ballads. The 9 Inch Nails stuff should be in the thread: that no one will care about in 30 years.

I didn't realize that a 30 yr shelf life was a defining trait of ballads.
The only people who will remember Whitesnake by then is Time Life.

What's funny is that Pretty Hate Machine will be 30 years old in less than a decade.
Hairband Power Ballads =/= Ballads in general

GOOD ONE, Kate Bush has to be my all time fave female artist.
Did you know that the Utah Saints, who I was also nuts about, sampled Cloudbusting in Something Good - skip to about 1 minute:
1992 Release:
2008 Release (CLASSIC VIDEO!)
Desiderata
I don't think to many people can pick just one 80's ballad. There are many great songs out there. Of the top of my head...
The Smiths - Shoplifters Of The World Unite
Alphaville - Forever Young

Here's one for you 80's music buffs...
Trying to find out what song this melody is from. It was a male singer, I think the last bar of the sample had a verse something like "conflict of a personality"
