As per thread title, show me what you've got!
I'm a sucker for a good ballad (cheesy or not) , but my collection is seriously lacking.
Here are some of my favourites to use as a reference:

Queensryche - Anybody Listening? , Someone Else? , Silent Lucidity (QR is my favourite band for ballads)
PT - Collapse the Light into Earth (unsure if considered), Lazarus, Lips of Ashes

A7X - I Won't See You Tonight Pt. 1 , Strength of the World

Wish You Were Here

If straight up awesome ballad is what you're looking for, look no further than "Wasted Time" by the Eagles. I LOVE this song.
If you want something along the lines of the style of music you have listed, I'd suggest:
"Love Hurts" - Nazareth
"I Remember You" - Skid Row
"Who Wants to Live Forever" - Queen
"Sister Christian" - Night Ranger
"High Hopes"- Pink Floyd
-
I mention In The Middle Of A Heartbeat by Helloween; it is a really awesome, if very 80s-ish ballad from the 90s.

:angel: :metal yeah, all almost all Helloween ballads have that good 80's feel, don't You think? A Tale That Wasn't Right, Your Time, Forever And One, even Light The Universe are so great!

Lita Ford and Ozzy win the thread.

Right on with your props to Queen, but your forgot Spread Your Wings and Teo Torriatte. Which I guess shows just how good they are at balladry, with so many of their best songs being ballads. Plus my favorite part of Bohemian Rhapsody is the ballady beginning/ending.
Also, I really adore Babe I'm Gonna Leave You. Led Zep's version of it, obviously.
And Child In Time. You can't forget that one.

Coheed and Cambria has a lot of great ballads: The Light & The Glass, Wake Up, Mother Superior and Pearl of the Stars. Also Claudio can turn almost any of their songs into a ballad with a good acoustic version (see Elf Tower New Mexico on the recent SSTB anniversary tour).
Also, our very own Dream Theater has a ton of great ballads. Aside from what the OP already listed, Another Day, Lifting Shadows Off a Dream, Take Away My Pain, Anna Lee, The Spirit Carries On, Goodnight Kiss and Wither all spring to mind.

Yeah mate, I could have gone on for hours. Love those other Tage ones, there's still a few more too. Wasp simply has some of the best ballads I've ever heard; The Idol, Breathe, Heaven's Hung in Black, Forever Free, What I'll Never Find, Hallowed Ground, and the list goes on.
I see you metioned Danger Danger - Fugitive also. I gotta say, that is simply one of, if not the greatest melodic rock album I've heard in about the last 5 years, such a perfect album.

I agree, WASP makes fantastic ballads.

A7X - I Won't See You Tonight Pt. 1 , Strength of the World
Strength of the World isn't a ballad. I'm not a big fan of ballads, but since Extreme is one of my favorite bands I got to mention Hole Hearted. It's more of a folk song though.
Pigs on the Wing by Floyd is a good one too.
-

Meat Loaf-Two Out of Three Ain't Bad

-
If it counts, why not Another Rainy Night by Queensryche
-
Black Label Society - In This River
BLS although Zakk doesn't right many ballads, when he does they are gold

Eh. That's plenty. Also, I'll go out on a limb and say that Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart" is one of the original power ballads.

Warrant's I Saw Red is a great song. And I'm also a fan of the MSG Anytime. And from Winger I'd go for Who's The One from Pull.
From the pop world- Unbreak My Heart by Toni Braxton is a great song.
And here's a link to the Giant song from my earlier post. Dann Huff is a great singer and guitarist.

Added a few (in bold).
-
Yeah, I don't think you can go past Headed For A Heartbreak for Winger. Rainbow in the Rose too, but that's not really a ballad.
-
Dokken's Jaded Heart is another good one.
-
Poison - Every Rose (though I detest it)
That's funny. I HATE that song. Mainly because of the way he pronounces thorn and that was their biggest hit!
-
Poison - Every Rose (though I detest it)
That's funny. I HATE that song. Mainly because of the way he pronounces thorn and that was their biggest hit!
Better not read my sig then... It's a good ballad- played to death of course, but I still like it. Poison's best ballads were Fire And Ice and Lay Your Body Down On Me, both from when they had good guitar players.
-
Queen, Jealousy, Lily Of The Valley, Dear Friends, You Take My Breath Away, Who Wants To Live Forever, TATDOOL, Show Must Go On.
Right on with your props to Queen, but your forgot Spread Your Wings and Teo Torriatte. Which I guess shows just how good they are at balladry, with so many of their best songs being ballads.
We would be remiss for neglecting Love of my Life.
Also PT has so many that I couldn't possible name them all. A Smart Kid,lazarus,trains, shedmovedon

Every time that video would come on I'd start screaming at the TV, "WHAT THE HECK IS A THONE!" :laugh:
-
Opeth - Ending Credits (instrumental)
-
Gloomy sunday: Very old song. Altough I only listened to Björk's version. Beautiful.
Also, most of Portishead's work.
Lots of Blackmore's Night songs
And a hidden gem: I let the music speak by ABBA
-
You know what? If your talking about ballads... you gotta mention BOYZ II MEN. They made some of the best and smoothest songs in the 90s. A lot of their ballads include
End of the Road
It's So Hard To Say Goodbye
Down On Bended Knee
Water Runs Dry
I'll Make Love To You
A Song For Mama
God damn, that a list of great music right there
-
Dokken's Jaded Heart is another good one.
Also: Alone Again
And there's some good ones on Don's solo album (Up from the Ashes), although I can't remember the titles right now.
Add:
Scorpions: Still Loving You, Wind of Change
-
Ayreon: Sign
Opeth: Harvest
Psychostick: Orgasm=Love
-
Winger -- Headed for a Heartbreak
VH -- Not Enough
Foreigner -- Until the end of Time

Ahhhhh, Savatage, the masters of the power ballad.
I can think of a lot of bands that were good at writing metal ballads; WASP, Scorpions, Winger, Yngwie, Symphony X; hell, even DT themselves have a few good ones, but seriously, between When the Crowds are Gone, Believe, All That I Bleed, Alone You Breathe, Back to a Reason and countless others, there is no doubt in my mind that Savatage writes the best ballads. :metal :metal :metal :metal :metal
-
Queensryche has been mentioned a few times but everyone seems to forget their best ballad. London
Fates Warning - Island in the Stream, A Pleasant Shade of Gray part IX and Chasing Time
Deep Purple - Sometimes I Feel Like Screaming
Alice Cooper - The Ballad of Dwight Fry (incase you're dating the mentally challenged)
-
Pain of Salvation - Morning on Earth
- Song for the Innocent
Sigur Ros - Agaetis Byrjun (the song)
The three songs that pop instantly in my mind.
-
Ahhhhh, Savatage, the masters of the power ballad.
Pretty much this.
Believe
When the Crowds Are Gone
All That I Bleed
Summer's Rain
Strange Wings
This Is The Time
Staring Into the Sun
Watching You Fall
Back To A Reason
Tonight He Grins Again
If I Go Away
Can You Hear Me Now
Hourglass
etc...

Spock's Beard -- She Is Everything
Kiss -- Beth
Hard Luck Woman

Better yet, QR's The Roads To Madness and No Sanctuary from The Warning. And I Will Remember. What a great band they once were.
-
Pink Floyd - "High Hopes"
Bruce Springsteen - "Magic"
Nine Inch Nails - "Hurt"
Motörhead - "One More F*cking Time"
Deep Purple - "Clearly Quite Absurd"
Eagles - "Waiting in the Weeds"
All of those songs are amazing and should be heard by everyone.

Skid Row - Quicksand Jesus, Wasted Time
Heart - Alone
Damn Yankees - High Enough, Where you Goin Now
Whitesnake - Sailing Ships, Now You're Gone
Brighton Rock - One More Try
Giant - I'll See You in my Dreams
Warrant - Heaven

And the ultimate ballad from The Bodyguard - I Will Always Love You
-
Electric Light Orchestra - Can't Get It Out Of My Head
Edit- lolz
-
Rough boy - ZZ Top
Sleeping sun - Nightwish
Empty rooms - Gary Moore
Still got the blues - Gary Moore

Actually its pretty much a tie with Take Hold and Eyes of a Stranger for me though.
-
I'm gonna add The Who's Love, Reign O'er Me. More to come as I think about it.
fantastic one.... and many others....
plus:
Savatage - summer rain

I consider it their best song by far but, I've never really thought of it as a ballad. Maybe without the end section I would think of it as a ballad but, that part is straight rippin' ass metal. No Sanctuary is an amazing song as well as I Will Remember but, neither of those songs feel as emotionally driven as London to me.
