Acoustic Ballads

According to Tommy, the acoustic ballad that he wanted me to find is one that doesn't include piano, doesn't have any drums, and includes a voice. On top of that, I had to find one that I liked. Eventually, I got it, but that was only after much google searching. I guess I don't enjoy many songs that have only an acoustic guitar and a voice. (This isn't very surprising, if you take into consideration that I my two favorite genres of music are heavy metal and classical) I think it took me 3 days to find one that met all the requirements, sadly, I don't have an eidedic memory like Wesley Crusher on Star Trek: The Next Generation, which explains the "I think" in this sentence. When he (Tommy) asked me to name an acoustic ballad, I said "Laguna Beach" by Black Sabbath, but apparently, that doesn't work because it needs vocals. So, naturally, I picked "About a Girl" by Nirvana, the obvious choice, but he asked for another one, probably because it was the obvious choice. After that point, it just got hard. So if you're interested in the song that I actually did pick, it's "More than words" by Extreme. I do, however, enjoy many ballads that are electric. Here are a couple that I find enjoyable:

-Stairway To Heaven - Led Zeppelin

-A Little Piece of Heaven - A7x (Metal ballads exist)

- I Don't Want to Miss a Thing - Aerosmith

- Soldier of Fortune - Deep Purple

- Dying For Love - Black Sabbath

- Androgynous - The Replacements

- Hey Jude - The Beatles

- The Spirit Carries On - Dream Theater (YES! The new album is coming out in September and after this song, I am DEFINITELY contemplating buying it. Y'all should listen to both the original and the version that a cover band put together internationally, it's called On The Backs of Angels)

That's about it, I guess the last one is kind of borderline, but it's still quite a bit slower than the stuff I usually listen to, so perhaps it works. Wow, psychology is taking over my brain, the second I wrote "borderline" I immediately thought of the borderline personality disorder. Great. Speaking of psychology, did you know that coprophilia, a paraphilia that means sex with feces, was labeled one of the most common paraphilias? Pretty gross, isn't it?
