As a rule, the most famous rock bands have at least one or more love rock ballads which were a strong catalyst for popularity. And no matter how brutal the group’s style is, if they have a ballad in their repertoire, then, in most cases, this is a manifestation of sincere feelings and lyrical mood. These guys know how to treat a woman right. Listen to their songs and learn too!
- “Love Hurts,” Nazareth
The song was presented to the world in 1960. However, phenomenal success overtook it only 15 years later when the cover version of this composition was presented by the group Nazareth. Even now, despite the appearance of many love rock ballads, the song “Love Hurts” is still loved by many connoisseurs of different ages.
- “Behind Blue Eyes,” The Who
The singers of this band have always been exceptional individualists and, therefore, most of their ballads don’t fit into the category of “classic.” But this monumental creation from the masterpiece Who’s Next of 1971 is nothing other than a true love rock ballad. You’ll fully enjoy tender vocals and impeccably beautiful melody.
- “Wish You Were Here,” Pink Floyd
The song is described so deeply that there are still some debates about the meaning of the phrases in it. The composition is quite original. Initially, the sound of a tuned radio is heard, and only then the song plays. It seems that the performers, sitting in the car, simply play along with the melodies emanating from the radio.
- “Angie,” The Rolling Stones
“Angie” is a single released on the eve of the eleventh album Goats Head Soup which has become a real gem of the British band. The lyrical composition of the suddenly ended love took off to the top of the Billboard Hot 100. “Angie” is the only and best rock ballad of the Rolling Stones that rose to the 1st place in the USA.
- “November Rain,” Guns N’ Roses
“November Rain” is one of the most powerful singles of Guns N’Roses which is a heartbreaking ballad about the November rain and love, written by vocalist Axel Rose. In the seventh minute, Slash’s explosive guitar solo crashes into the sad motive which is included in the list of the best guitar solos of all time.
- “Is This Love,” Whitesnake
The composition was released with the album of Whitesnake in 1987. This is a lyrical song that tells about love experienced by a person, about his hopes and desire to be with his girlfriend, about anxious waiting, burning his soul in moments of endless waiting for a fleeting meeting, and hopes that she will call him and he will hear her voice.
- “Carrie,” Europe
This lyrical and soulful song makes listeners feel sad along with Joey Tempest performing this song. The song Carrie, written by Europe for their extra-successful album The Final Countdown, immediately became the hallmark of the group.
- “White Dove,” Scorpions
For their half-century history, the Scorpions has written many wonderful songs, many of which are known far beyond their homeland. The main song of this group, by which it can be recognized all over the world, is “White Dove.”
- “Don’t Cry,” Guns N’ Roses
Interestingly, is there at least one person among the fans of Guns N’ Roses who doesn’t know how the song “Don’t Cry” was written? Actually, not only the ardent admirers of the band like this song. Many people were interested to know which events preceded the appearance of “Don’t Cry” because it touched their souls.
- “Still Loving You,” Scorpions
Many consider German people unemotional. But when it comes to sublime feelings, a great nation is ready to pour out its whole soul with its inherent sensuality, as the Scorpions did in their famous love ballad.
