There are a lot of great bands out there today who write some great ballads. So if you’re looking for some inspiration during writing time, or are a reader who enjoys hard rock, here are some recommendations from my own personal playlist.
I got a fever and the only prescription is more cowbell!
1. Pop Evil – Torn to Pieces
2. Madam Adam – The Story of Us (Unfortunately, I can’t find a video for this at YouTube. But this song is amazing and worth buying.)
3. Goo Goo Dolls – Notbroken

8. Theory of a Deadman – Angel
9. Buckcherry – Bliss
10. Chickenfoot – Learning to Fall

13. Three Days Grace – Wake Up
14. Splender – I Think God Can Explain
15. Chris Cornell – The Promise
16. Jimmy Project – I Won’t Forget (No video for this one either. Awesome song. Highly recommend.)
