Know some other popular ballads that had those solos? I know I'm missing some. Anyone have any fave ballads they want to post as well?

Love that song by James Ingram!

1990 was full of songs with that ballad style...look at the list of songs that hit #1 that year:

1991 also had the classic "Everything I Do (I Do it for You)" by Bryan Adams
1992 had "Save the Best for Last" by Vanessa Williams

*facepalm* How can I forget those songs? Thanks for the link! I'm just trying to think of other pop songs that specifically had that electric guitar solo. I was blanking when I started the thread, but I just thought of a few more:
