I was going to say you only get 1 choice, but I couldn't narrow it down to just 1. LOL

So, you get 3 choices for GREATEST BALLAD OF ALL TIME

"I See Your Smile" by Gloria Estefan

"You'll See" by Madonna

"Time After Time" by Cyndi Lauper

^ I love "Time After Time". That was one of my first favorite songs around 1984/85 (well, that's an understatement 'cause I had tons of first favorites lol).

Picking three is hard, but I guess I'd go with a few absolute longtime favorites. I think I have to make it 5 because I like so many songs.

"Rush Rush" by Paula, "Every Breath You Take" by The Police (well, that's midtempo I guess, but close enough), "Penny Lover" by Lionel Richie, "I Wanna Know What Love is" by Foreigner, and "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" by Starship (also middle tempo).

When I thought..ballad..Chicago's If You Leave Me Now popped into my head...

:(  try again later or tomorrow...maybe nobody uploaded it yet.

The first ballad that springs to mind here is Eric Carmen's All By Myself

When I thought..ballad..Chicago's If You Leave Me Now popped into my head...


EXCELLENT choice.  definitely up there for me too.

I love Chicago too, especially their '80s stuff like "You're the Inspiration". I first heard that on the radio one night in Florida (visiting our relatives out there) just after we left this arcade and mini golf course. I was like 3 or 4, lol.

wow, how do you remember that??

^Oh it's just sort of scattered memories. From about 3 to 5/6 I guess it's like that, which is what makes it even more special. I can't remember anything in detail, but I just know the basic feel of things and some small details. I always liked music too, so that tends to remind me of things too, I guess.

That's really cool.  Yeah the early memories are the best!  My first memory is about a 2 second flash of being in my crib.  It had a design on the front and back that were circles cut out in different colors and I remember looking through one of the circles and seeing my mom walk into the room.  I can also just barely remember my mom giving me my bottle in our kitchen.  Just a flash... 

I miss being a kid :(

^ That's pretty good! I can't remember back that far, I think like 3 and a half is my earliest, although some might be from earlier and I don't have anything to date them with. My parents moved around alot when I was a kid and early teen, so that's kinda how I knew the time and all.

I had my 4th birthday in 1985 just before we left this one house, and I do remember that. I know what you mean, because my dad camcordered alot of that stuff, and my childhood was generally better than my teen/young adult years. Like 3-12 and especially up to 8.

I've always liked ...Bridge Over Troubled Water - Simon & Garfunkel
Can't Help Falling In Love - Elvis Presley..even my 16 year old daughter likes that song
Wild Horses-- Rolling Stones
Melissa - The Allman Brothers (also my daughters name)
Wind of Change - Scorpions

Those were definitely my best years too.  Teenage years were, unforunately, not my best.  Very awkward and lonely.  But yeah, as a kid, I had a great time.  And I wish there was more video of me back then.  I have about 3 home movies that I watch a couple times a year but I wish there was more. 

Sorry adding another one.....Lighting Crashes- Live
